Jan:
Rollei QBM cameras including 2000/3000 have a very complete
long lenses line, from the 2.8/135 Rolleinar; 3.5/200 Rolleinar,
5.6/400mm Rolleinar, Schneider Variogon 4/80-240, 2.8/135 Zeiss
Sonnar, 4.5/500mm Mirotar; 8/1000mm Tele Tessar, the impressive Night
Observation Device RF 900 , the Night Vision system SL 2000F, etc. I
have the 3.5/200mm Rolleinar, it's an excellent lens.
I found extremes opinions in the web about the SL 2000/3000 cameras,
from people saying it's a sh...to several users that never had
problems using the system for a decade or more and being very pleasant
with it, others say they are not fans but like the camera very much.
It was SG at the end of the page quoted by Elias who stated: "Today
the Rollei 2000 / 3003 system remains one of the few System 35
cameras, with some of the best lenses ever made for 35, and one of the
most innovative 35 designs ever" and " The 2000 / 3003 Rollei system
was HUGE, covering lenses from 15mm to 1000mm".
I mention the site again:
