Rolleiflex 2.8c With 80mm Carl Zeiss Planar Lens

  


Rolleiflex 2.8C twin lens reflex camera with uncommonly equipped Carl Zeiss Planar f2.8 lens. Lens has some small dust internally, but no more than typical of cameras this age, and has no obvious scratches or fungus. Comes with mirrored lens cap and an ever-ready case. Has strap bracket upgrade, so alligator clip straps used on later Rolleiflex tlr's can be used on this camera.

Original brackets are also included should you prefer to use them. Camera functions at all shutter speeds including slowest. Checked against stop watch, the full second setting is actually closer to 2 seconds, and the half second setting is closer to 1 second. Self-timer works, but is extremely sluggish, taking over two minutes to fire the shutter. So, a CLA would be in order if you plan on using the self timer and slow speeds.

Sorry, it's not the original box, but it's free and if you need a cover that says 3.5E3 on it, your gain is my loss. In full disclosure, I have personally owned this camera for more than thirty years, and have not used it in the past twenty years, so it really should be used for taking photos again. This is too fine a camera to sit around any longer. The item "Rolleiflex 2.8C With 80mm Carl Zeiss Planar lens" is in sale since Monday, January 20, 2020.
