Introduction to the Rolleicord Vb Type II, Video 1 of 2 14 December 2013
Franke & Heidecke's Rolleicord lineage ended with the Vb Type II. When this model's production run ended in 1977, it marked the end of the Rolleicord line. And what a note to end on.
The Vb Type II contains most of the important pro-grade features and differs from Rolleiflex cameras only in maximum aperture and the lack of a film advance crank.
Every bit as capable of taking stunning pictures as any Rolleflex or other TLR, the Rolleicord line represented a way for camera users to enter the TLR market without having to pay for a top-end Rolleiflex.

Nikon FM
The Nikon FM is a mechanically operated, interchangeable lens, 35 mm film, single-lens reflex (SLR) camera.
It was manufactured in Japan between 1977 and 1982 by Nippon Kogaku K. K.

1960s > Nikon F
The Nikon F camera, introduced in April 1959, was Nikon's first SLR camera.
[ A single-lens reflex camera (SLR) is a camera that typically uses a mirror and prism system (hence "reflex" from the mirror's reflection) that permits the photographer to view through the lens and see exactly what will be captured. With twin lens reflex and rangefinder cameras, the viewed image could be significantly different from the final image.
When the shutter button is pressed on most SLRs, the mirror flips out of the light path, allowing light to pass through to the light receptor and the image to be captured.]
It was one of the most advanced cameras of its day.
Although many of the concepts had already been introduced elsewhere, it was revolutionary in that it was the first to combine them all in one camera.
It was produced until October 1973 and was replaced by the Nikon F2.
Aspects of its design remain in all of Nikon's subsequent SLR cameras, through the current Nikon F6 film and Nikon D5 digital models (which still share its Nikon F-mount for lenses).
The "F" in Nikon F was selected from the term "re-f-lex", since the pronunciation of the first letter "R" is not available in many Asian languages.
That tradition was carried all the way through their top line of Nikon cameras until the introduction of the Nikon D1 (digital) cameras decades later.
Specially modified Nikon F cameras were used in space in the early 1970s aboard the Skylab space station. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikon_F - August 21, 2020

Speed Graphic
The Speed Graphic was a press camera produced by Graflex in Rochester, New York.
Although the first Speed Graphic cameras were produced in 1912, production of later versions continued until 1973; with the most significant improvements occurring in 1947 with the introduction of the Pacemaker Speed Graphic (and Pacemaker Crown Graphic, which was one pound [0.45 kg] lighter and lacked the focal plane shutter). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_Graphic

Ikonta Zeiss-Ikon's top product line of folding medium format cameras were badged Ikonta and were generally of superior quality when compared with corresponding folding camera models of Zeiss-Ikon's Nettar product line.
Launched in 1929, they were offered in four models: A, B, C, & D.
The A, B, & C size took 120 film.
The A, B, & C produced negatives in 6x4.5 format, 6x6 format, and 6x9 format, respectively.
The Ikonta D produced larger negatives on either 116 or 616 format film. respectively.
There was also a Baby Ikonta, which used 127 film.
The first series of Ikonta were also labeled the 520 series.
The Ikonta A, B, & C, were also 520, 520/16, and the 520/2,
Around 1940, the 520 series gave way to the 521 series which added a shutter release on the body and a double exposure prevention.
Only the A, B, & C models continued.
In the early 1950s, the 523 was launched for the B & C models.
A chrome top plate with an integral finder and an accessory shoe was added.
The 524 series added an uncoupled rangefinder and was also called the "Mess" Ikonta.
Hubert Nerwin designed the Ikonta 35 for 35mm film.
It was a viewfinder camera.
Nerwin created versions with with rangefinder, the Contina with separate optical viewfinder, and the Contessa with a big optical viewfinder plus superimposed Super-Ikonta-like coupled rangefinder.
The Ikonta 35 and the Contina were soon renamed to Contina and Contina II.
In the United States early Ikontas were sold under the name Ikomat. - 30 April 2020. http://camera-wiki.org/wiki/Ikonta

The Ur-Leica UK
The original Leica prototype of 1914 is considered as revolutionary a technological development as the advent of the mobile phone.
Compact and lightweight – a mere 400g – and using 35mm cinematic film, it was small enough to fit into a coat pocket, and rapidly became essential not only to professional photographers but also amateurs, thereby bringing photography into everyday life.
