I agree with you 100%I had one on loan for almost a year, 2.8A w/ Opton Tessar 80/2.8 and 1/500 Compur Rapid. It took great photos IMO. The front cell focus version on my 6x6 Super Ikonta wasn't bad either.

Thanks for the information. As I mentioned, I am just curious if any "improvements" were made to the design. I am quite happy with the performance of my particular lens. Even wide open, this lens has useful applications, and actually isn't as poor a performer as ancient lore has led us to believe. For proof, type "Rolleiflex A, 2.8 Tessar" into the search engine at photo.net. There I have uploaded several images, several of which are at 2.8 Ciao, Jim
