Schneider numbers from 12,500,000 to 13,000,000 start in March 1974 and end in December 1976, your 12874xxx lens could be from 1975 or the beginning of 1976 or even from the ending of 1974, we don't know Schneider lenses production rythm for those years. It's also necessary to consider Rollei only made 7800 2.8F cameras from January 1973 to October 1981, they are an average of less than 1,000 units per year for almost eight years of production and in comparison with the 75000 units produced from June 1960 to to December 1972, an average of more than 6,500 units per year.- BTW you are right about the fraud.
