That serial number is for an earlier 2.8F camera, from 1960 up to about 1961 or starting 1962 there was the option Planar or Xenotar lens for the 2.8F, this earlier option is not well known today and even Claus Prochnow does not mention it in the Report 2 2001 reviewed edition, but I have official Rollei brochures from that time showing the 2.8F with Planar or Xenotar lens as option and I have also seen auctions about earlier 2.8F with Xenotar lens, if you have the Xenotar lens serial number, you can see the lens age here: http://www.schneideroptics.com/info/age_of_lenses/ Carlos --- El mié 10-sep-08, X.TRUONG <truongthx@xxxxxxx> escribió: > De: X.TRUONG <truongthx@xxxxxxx> > Asunto: [rollei_list] Re: OT: Bad Fuji RVP 50 development > Para: rollei_list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Fecha: miércoles, 10 de septiembre de 2008, 2:06 pm > Dear, > > I just buy a Rolleiflex 2.8F camera.
