I won't discuss about the angels sex, it was the 2.8A model for the
factory, there was no other Rolleiflex 2.8 model in the market at the
time and then it was marketed as 2.8, it used its original name when a
second and different Rolleiflex 2.8 model was manufactured. My second
point has to do with the old topic mentioned in my post, it was only a
thought recalling it.-
