Rolleicord IV Medium Format TLR Camera with Schneider Xenar 75mm f/3.5 - Shutter Sticky Below 1/25s

The Rolleicord IV is an iconic German medium format camera renowned for its exceptional mechanical build quality and sharp 6x6 images on 120 roll film. Introduced between 1953 and 1954, this model featured key upgrades over earlier iterations, including an MXV shutter selector and an improved double-exposure prevention mechanism.

It features a premium Schneider-Kreuznach Xenar 75mm f/3.5 taking lens, widely praised for its contrast and rendering. The shutter mechanism on this specific camera requires attention: while fast speeds up to 1/25s operate correctly, slower speeds stick open (a standard issue caused by dried lubricants in the Synchro-Compur leaf shutter, which can usually be resolved with a standard Clean, Lube & Adjust service).

• Condition: Shutter functional up to 1/25s (sticks on slower speeds), taking lens optics contain minor internal dust/grime.
