The Rolleiflex MX or 3.5A in Europe was made from June
1951 to March 1954, this camera production was
included in two serial numbers blocks: 1200000 to
1298999 and 1401000 to 1427999, I say "included"
because this camera model shares the same serial
numbers blocks with other Rollei TLR models, in fact
with the 2,8B and 2,8C, there are no repeated numbers
for each unit but you find these three models sharing
the serial numbers blocks mentioned above.
This camera received some changes along the
production.
There is no a preferred film for these cameras, the
choice is for the photographer according his
preferences and necessities within the different
avilable films for the format.
All the best
Carlos
