This is a Rolleiflex 2.8D with the Zeiss Planar 80mm f2.8 lens.
Who loves the Rolleiflex TLR?
I do. I think that the Rollei is the single coolest camera ever made. The quality is incredible. The pictures are incredible. The look of the camera is incredible.
What kind of camera did James Dean use?
He had a Rolleiflex (look up the photo-did you ever see a man strut like that?)
Paul McCartney had one. Marilyn used one.
This one comes with the upgraded grid focusing screen with a horizontal split prism surrounded by a microprism.
It is in excellent- condition with light to moderate wear and works perfectly. The shutter is strong and accurate at all speeds. The winding and mechanical functions are smooth. The taking lens has a couple of tiny cleaning marks on the front element. I can only see them with a bright flashlight, they do not affect image quality. Otherwise, the glass is clean and scratch free with no haze, fungus, nor other issues. The aperture is smooth. The viewing lens is clean.
The takeup spool and cool leather strap are included.
