Subject: [rollei_list] New Rolleiflex and Serial Numbers
A couple of hours ago I found an MX with Tessar at a local thrift shop. They
wanted $25 for it so I took a chance. Unfortunately, the front element of the
Tessar is not in very good condition but may still be usable. There was also an
MX with a Xenar in it but it needed a lot more work than this one and was more.
Also, the Xenar was badly etched so I passed it up.
The serial numbers of the one I bought are:
Camera body, 1278950;
Zeiss Opton Tessar, 75mm, f/3.5, Nr. 912808, T coated;
Finder lens, Heidosmat, 75mm, f/2.8, Nr. 632127.
I will be working on this camera, mainly as practice. If it comes out well I
may be looking for a set of replacement lenses for it.
I also obtained a mirror type lens cap with it but the plating is not in good
condition. No case, the other camera had a case, as usual falling apart with
rotting sewing. Curiosly, both finder mirrors are in excellent condition.
