I asked the seller about the FX "new version" bayonet and lens, I
wrote him the bayonet looked  III and not IV, his first answer was:

"Dear fcarlosmanuel,

Hi, it is a new type Rolleiflex 2.8 FX w/ S-apogon 80mm f/2.8 HFT with
size IV filter bayonet. It is new product, just arrival from Dec,
2011!

thank you"!

However, some minutes later, the answer was:

"Dear fcarlosmanuel,

Yes, I confirm that it is still bay III, same as old version.

thanks"

It's evident he confused the camera description, I also think he
thought the lens is a new one due to the "S" for Schneider like the
lenses for the FW and FT and "APO type" for "Apogon", but Rollei had
lenses "S- Apogon" in the past meaning "Super Apogon", it does not
mean they were or they are Schneider lenses or Apochromatic lenses
(DIN standard or not), it clearly looks this lens for the FX "new
version" made by DHW Fototechnik is the Planar 2.8/80 with other name
due to Planar name use license issues. In spite of the clarification,
he did not correct the error in the auction yet and my question and
the answer does not appear in the page yet.
