Also, you have to manually cock the shutter on the 'cord. And the same lever
that cocks it fires it.

And when you get to the Rolleicord Vb Type two, the two are even less
distinguishable.

Gene:

Price, lenses, removable waist level viewfinders, and there are no 
advance cranks, or auto shutter advance on the 'cords.

In use, the images are indistinguishable.

The T model used a 'cord body as do all the current Rolleiflex TLRs.
