Dear Mr. Freaza,
But I checked the Xenotar's serial no. with your list, it is produced in
1964. Maybe?

Best regards,
Xuan Truong

This is an identical brochure regarding my 1961 brochure about the 2.8F with
the Planar or Xenotar option. It's possible the earlier Xenotar version was
available for export and not for Germany; Prochnow and the Rollei factory
manual only mention the Planar version for the earlier models, but I have no
doubt about the Xenotar version 'cause I have some Xenotar serial numbers
from 1960 and 1961 coinciding with earlier 2.8F bodies serial numbers, and
there are the brochures with different factory code (and price) for the
Xenotar and Planar versions:
