Really it's a pity the photographs in the mentioned books have copyright. The 1934 2.8/80 prototype looks like a Rolleiflex Standard but with a large 0 size Compur shutter, the shutter diameter almost reaches the front panel edges,the lenses also look larger than the lenses in the Standard, these element size are the only difference. The 1939 2.8/80 prototype looks like an Automat with bright wheels, however the viewfinder hood is different, the viewfinder hood has a glass for the Sportsfinder like the Rollei wide, but the Sportsfinder is more elegant in the Wide of course, there were other 2.8A prototypes after the war on the basis of this prototype, the special glass for the sports finder was eliminated and only used again for the Rollei Wide sportsfinder.- All the best Carlos --- James & Christiane Thompson <jcthompson@xxxxxx> escribió: > Well, this has certainly turned into an interesting > thread.
