That's kind of interesting. I have two 2.8f's ... one purchased mint used in
1971 from a guy who had had it a year and who wanted a Hasselblad, and the
other purchased new about 1976. I always wondered why the second one had the
whiteface, now I know.
Both are planars, and the only other differences I can see between the two
cameras is that the second one has a plastic "tip" at the end of the "peg" that
fits into the hole on the right side of the film spool, whereas on the earlier
camera, this "tip" is metal, and the fact that the lens cap shipped with the
later one was plastic instead of metal (since replaced because I like the metal
ones better).
The case shown with the one listed on ebay looks to me to be older than would
have been shipped in 76 or thereabouts, because of the metal "medallion" on the
front of the case, but I leave that to the real experts.
