I've mentioned before that I bought a 2.8C with every possible attachment
(except a leather case) in Hong Kong in summer 1954. I loved it and kept it
for many years until I had to sell it and buy a 3.5F to use in a Rolleimarin IV.
I still have a few pieces, in particular an original Rollei Flash with two
mounting arms*. It's free to anyone who wants to complete a collection and
will sponsor the postage.
*I mean two different bayonet sizes.

exchanges. I have a full set of developing equipment safely stored in the
garage, still packed after almost 20 years. The enlarger was donated when I
moved. It's hard to toss out some of that old stuff.]

I love the C... the most beautiful of the 2.8s
Simple, with no meter or EVS, and a complex diaphragm
Your choice of Xenotar or Planar.
It used to be viewed with caution because of the plastic lock controls around
the shutter speed and aperture, but these pieces can now be easily 3D printed.
