I agree with Peter. Several years ago I was going to buy an XF because of the low cost and I was warned by several on this list (not Peter) that it was a bad camera. What Eric G. mentions about the Signet strikes a familiar chord with me. I picked up a nice one at a sale for $15 . It was not in the league of the small 35's plus I did not care for even using it as a large 35mm.

They are not reliable from many reports and the only reason to buy it is the Sonnar. Hopefully you will get a camera that will not fail. On 9/29/07, Jerry Friedman <tinycameraco@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:
Does anyone know why the Sonnar on the Rollei XF is considered a poorer performer than other Sonnars?
