The model that I have, which is actually a friend's, is the 2.8D. I'm sure if you want to read the history of Rolleiflex, a simple Google or even Ask Jeeves search will find what you need. It’s created accurately, in real units of measurement, qualitatively and maximally close. The first Rolleiflex was introduced in 1929, and the first 2.8, the 2.8A, came in 1949. Description Comments (1) Reviews (0) The 3D model was created on real base. If anyone has used the 2.8 D and had good, bad, or indifferent results I'd be happy to hear them. There are not many cameras quite as venerable as a Rolleiflex. Introduced in 1955 as the successor to the 2.8C, the 2.8D includes a locking EV system to make adjusting shutter speeds and apertures simultaneous. If it needs a CLA so be it, because the price was good: The Planar models seem to combine the old school TLR advantages with some more seriously engineered glass. I just love the convenience and relatively small weight/bulk of a TLR for handheld work combined with the mechanical elegance of a Rollei. I would have prefered an F or later model, but then again I'd prefer to be driving a BMW right now to my Corolla! I think this camera is about right for me.

Unfortunately, they are pricey (and some are real pricey), but I did snag a userish looking 2.8 D on eBay today for $389. And as with many cameras of its vintage, the selenium cell used to power the batteryless light meter was beyond its expiration date.

ROLLEIFLEX 2.8 D PLUS
After knocking around with a few of TLR's and medium format SLR's over the last few years I've decided the one camera that best meets my needs is the Rolleiflex 2.8 Planar model.
