'cords almost always have a Tessar type 4-element lens - normally a Schneider 
Xenar in later models.
Except for the very early 'cords which had a Triotar.
'flexes have a 3.5 or 2.8 Planar or Xenotar - though a few do have a Tessar.
They don't have a meter - later 'flexes have a meter or provision for one
Only the very last 'cord, the Vb has an interchangeable finder hood and screen.
'cords don't do 220 film.
Shall I go on, and on....
