Built by Franke & Heidecke in Braunschweig between 1957 and 1961, the Rolleicord Va offered photographers an accessible entry point into the legendary Rollei TLR system — delivering the same iconic waist-level shooting experience and exceptional 6x6 medium format image quality as its more celebrated Rolleiflex siblings. The Heidosmat 75mm f/3.2 viewing lens is Rollei's own high-quality finder optic, while the Schneider-Kreuznach Xenar 75mm f/3.5 taking lens — from one of Germany's most respected optical manufacturers — delivers sharp, contrasty images with a rendering quality that remains highly sought after by photographers and collectors worldwide.

The Xenar's rendering is unmistakably German — precise, contrasty, and with a natural quality that rewards every frame. The waist-level viewfinder encourages a slower, more considered approach to photography, and the 6x6 negatives that result are simply stunning. A magnificent piece of photographic history in good condition."
