Here are the factory production figures:

2.8A                9,870
2.8B                1,250
2.8C              30,150
2.8D              20,100
2.8E              44,000
2.8F              82,800
2.8E2               7,000
2.8E3               2,025

3.5C/E            43,000
3.5F (1)          20,000
3.5F (2)          11,500
3.5F (3)        121,000
3.5E2 (1)           2,000
3.5E (2)            2,000
3.5E3               5,035

Rolleiflex T      99,000

I realize that sales figures might be lower than production numbers, but I
doubt if the differences would be great -- who has ever heard of basements
full of unsold Rolleiflex TLR cameras in the basement?
