Marc,interesting list, however I'm afraid that
Prochnow has repeated the same weight for some models
with different weight, i.e. 2.8A and 2.8B and 3.5F and
2.8F.
It's impossible identical weight for the 2.8A and
2.8B, the 2.8B was modified to receive the 2.8 five
elements lens due to the lens weight, if you see the
Rollei Report II, the part about the 2.8B,there is a
photograph showing the new internal design with two
big guides for the lens carrier, this design was used
afterwards for other 2.8 models, and then the 2.8B was
heavier than the 2.8A.
Similar for the 3.5F and 2.8F, the 2.8 five elements
Planar and Xenotar lenses are heavier than the Planar
and Xenotar 3.5 five and six elements and being almost
identical cameras the 3.5F third model and the 2.8F
except for the lens, the 2.8F must be heavier than the
3.5F.
I have compared the 2.8C and the 3.5F weight putting
each camera on my right hand palm,I found a similar
weight for both cameras, but I had the impression that
the 3.5F was lighter than the 2.8C very slightly, when
I receive from California the 3.5F I'll use a scale to
weigh these cameras.-
All the best
Carlos
