I was recently given a non-functioning 2.8 Tessar Rolleiflex. In breaking it down for cleaning, I noticed that the barrels of the taking lens set are stamped with serial numbers. The numbers match for the front and back set.
Would this have been done by F&H after coating? Or does it indicate in any way that the issue of de-coupled pairings that I have heard about didn't happen with this set?
Thanks for any info. I haven't been able to take any photos with the camera because of problems with the film transport so I can't say anything about the quality of the lens itself.
I have seen threads asking for info on these models, so here it is: Body: 1101075 Viewing: Nr. 819302 Heidoscop-Anastigmat 1:2.8 f=8cm Taking: Nr. 2448307 Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar 1:2.8 f=8cm T[in red]The barrels of the taking lenses are stamped 448307; there is no '2' at the beginning.
There is a hand=written note on the barrel of the viewing lens: F=79.4 No other markings on viewing lens barrel.
