This is a less known Richard Avedon 1963 self-portrait (at least less
known to me) holding the Rolleiflex TLR, it is a Rolleiflex 2.8E3 IMO
after to enlarge the image very much; since the selftimer and MX lever
is above the shutter release button, the camera could only be a 2.8E3
or a 2.8F without lightmeter considering the taking lens diameter too,
I think it is a 2.8 E3 because in spite of the lack of frontal light
on the two little wheels, the inner circles show relief and their
bright part shows shadows indicating the shutter speeds- f stops
coupling controls and the ASA-DIN dial is not visible behind the film
spool knob; the 28E3 was manufactured up to January 1965 and the 2.8F
version without lightmeter from 1966 according the Rollei factory
manual, the 2.8E3 still was in production in 1963 (from March 1962):
