My statement had to do with the comment in the eBay seller's auction page, I explained it, however it's a fact all Rolleiflex cameras from the first Automat have identical luminosity for the viewing lens, f 2.8 , except the Tele and the Wide and the Standard Neu that had a Steinheil-Cassar f 3.1/75mm viewing lens labeled Heidoscop- Anastigmat 3.1/75, BTW this is a very rare sample because Zeiss provided the Heidosmat viewing lens with the Zeiss taking lenses and after the WWII Schneider provided the Hieidosmat viewing lenses with the Schneider lenses.
CarlosI believe that you are saying that the Standart-Neu was unique in having a viewing lens from an outside source and I believe that this is correct. Steinheil was a magnificent firm and it is unfortunate that a family fight caused them to go out of business. Ludwig Bertele was their director of optical design during most of the 1940's.
