Dan, this is an excellent resource.

I question some of the data in the section on the Rolleiflex 3.5F. As far as I know, this model never had a Tessar lens. I think maybe 'Tessar' should have read 'Planar'?

According to the serial # on my 3.5F, I have a 3.5F III-2, which corresponds to the year I know it was built. But my lens is a Planar, so I think that should be added to the Xenotar.

I agree -- Planars and Xenotars were the lenses for the 3.5F series; no Tessars at that time except in the Ts.

typos corrected - thanks guys

Thanks for this interesting page, however you'll need to actualise the page quite often, since Rollei prices - as well as Leica SM's - vary a lot, partly due to speculation.
Exemple : for a IIIf :
250$ with a Summar 12-2004
250 for a body only 3-2005
400 for a body only 8 - 2005
up to 600 for a body only 11-2005
300 for a body 3-2006
200 6-2006
400 10-06

Same for a Rollei T.
Got my first one for a 250$, my second one (similar condition) for 370 a year later...

Guess $350 for a very nice IIIf RDST is in the ballpark? (My newest acquisition).

it changed a lot since last october... I've stopped watching at the price evolution for a couple of months now... but that doesn't seems to be that much (and I'm jealous because I want a IIIf too 😀)

VERY nice site! I use a similar one for a Leica price guide. Very useful. Good work!
