Are all of you suggesting that the 2.8F is better built than the 3.5F?

Wonderful photos, Jose. So nice that your camera has a family history AND
that you have the photos to go with it!
I'll second Don's assertion. Rolleis are the best. I've got other cameras,
too, but it's my Rolleis that get the most use. Enjoy yours!
Best wishes,
Dave

Hello José:
Your 2,8F was made at the ending of 1960 probably, Rollei started to
manufacture it in June 1960.
I've probably posted this comment in the past but my first Rollei was a 2.8C
with a Xenotar lens. I bought it in Hong Kong and got all the accessories
available at the time. It was a wonderful camera but of course no light
meter. I used the paper guide that came in film packs as well as a very
old/sick GE meter. Strangely, I don't remember any really poor exposure
results. That camera served me well with travels through three continents.
I had to let it go when I needed a 3.5F for a Rolleimarin IV I bought from a
guy who couldn't afford to own it, thus missing the chance to own a 2.8F.
The point I make is that the Rollei's are the best built cameras I have used
and I still own Nikon and Contax products.
Regards and Happy Halloween to those who participate.
