I have a 3.5 E first version. I would like to ask if there will be any 
noticable improvement in quality if I upgrade it to a newer Planar? The one I 
have does flare a lot. 
Thanks for your message,
God bless You.
Marvin.

Okay, okay!
I have a beautiful Rollieflex T (apparently) and I need a good (or better) 
original hinged lens cap for it.
Lenses are C. Zeiss Tessar 75mm f=3.5 (taking lens) and the viewing lens is a 
Heidosmat 75mm  f=2.8.
Right now I have a hinged Yashica cap for it. It sort of fits, but I'd prefer 
to have an original.

I have no need for the Yashica cap at the moment, and I'd happily make a trade 
of some sort.
