In use it is not a major problem, because the C model was also the first to be fitted with double exposure capability. However it’s not possible to select, or de-select, the maximum speed after the camera has been wound and the shutter is cocked. There are several implications in practical use as a result of this. The Synchro Compur shutter fitted to the C is a Compur Rapid type with booster spring for 1/500. Maybe the D, with those aforementioned chrome metal locks, is the prettiest of all?įunctionally, other differences between the two include the EV system, which is fitted to the D & E model but not the C. I therefore feel that, aesthetically, they are the most beautiful Rolleiflexes. One of the things I like about the older models like the B, C & D is that because meters were not fitted, they have a simple “Rolleiflex” plate in front of the viewfinder assembly. The E models have a cover plate for the meter cell if a meter isn’t fitted to a particular camera. I think the out of focus effects of all the lens and shutter types, from what I have seen, are wonderful, but I do confess I like the way the shutter of the C renders any out of focus highlights as circles, instead of pentagons.ĭo you want a built in light meter? I prefer without, personally, and usually incident meter with a hand held meter. Well, both these lenses debuted on the 2.8C model Rolleiflex. What are the finest lenses Rollei ever fitted to their TLRs? I don’t want to start a flame war between Tessar/Xenar owners and others, because, honestly, I have never met a Rollei TLR I couldn’t love at first sight–but most would respond that the Xenotar and Planar lenses are the best of the best.
It’s also a historically significant model for Rollei. I have wondered how hard it would be to reproduce these but I suspect the cost of tooling up for a high quality replacement of a limited run of items would put people off price wise.

It’s not uncommon for Cs to have one or both missing my own C does not have the PC connector lock.
Every image I have ever seen of one has metal types. I have never seen a 2.8D with the plastic locks.
