Production history

The 2.8F is the last and most refined of the standard Rolleiflex line, with either a Zeiss Planar or Schneider Xenotar 80mm f/2.8 taking lens. The selenium meter is decorative on most surviving examples. Values run on lens type (Planar trades higher), serial range, and whether the original case, lens caps, and Rolleinar close-up lenses are present.
