My statement had to do with the comment in the eBay seller's auction page, I explained it, however it's a fact all Rolleiflex cameras from the first Automat have identical luminosity for the viewing lens, f 2.8 , except the Tele and the Wide and the Standard Neu that had a Steinheil-Cassar f 3.1/75mm viewing lens labeled Heidoscop- Anastigmat 3.1/75, BTW this is a very rare sample because Zeiss provided the Heidosmat viewing lens with the Zeiss taking lenses and after the WWII Schneider provided the Hieidosmat viewing lenses with the Schneider lenses.

I believe that you are saying that the Standart-Neu was unique in having a viewing lens from an outside source and I believe that this is correct. Steinheil was a magnificent firm and it is unfortunate that a family fight caused them to go out of business. Ludwig Bertele was their director of optical design during most of the 1940's.
