Dear Mr Freaza, In fact, I am contacting with a seller for him 2.8F, but I am not experience in Rollei. You please see some photos about it: http://img527.imageshack.us/img527/9683/17en0.jpg http://img388.imageshack.us/img388/281/12kb3.jpg http://img387.imageshack.us/img387/4440/15ue9.jpg http://img388.imageshack.us/img388/8835/14jl6.jpg http://img387.imageshack.us/img387/8084/13qy7.jpg http://img528.imageshack.us/img528/7569/16su8.jpg You see. The camera & lens serial no. But in the last photo, the leather have some prominent points, maybe the leather had scaled off and sticked again, or the camera had been CLA or repaired something... According to you, the camera is good with price $850? Thank you very much!

Maybe? >Best regards, >Xuan Truong The fact I mentioned 1960, 1961(my catalog and the catalog in the quoted URL are from 1961) and 1962 is because I know 2.8F Xenotar samples from those years. The Schneider site about age of lenses is reliable since it's the Schneider factory web site and if your Xenotar serial number is from 1964 according the list and if your camera lens was not replaced, we need to extend the Planar and Xenotar option at least up to 1964 (BTW, what's your Xenotar lens serial number and your camera serial number without xxx at least for the four firsts numbers?). Anyway, if your camera works fine and you obtain very good images using it, I can't see the problem if a Xenotar lens replaced a Planar lens. Carlos Yahoo!
