Rolleiflex 2.8 question (purchase, maybe)

You may find this recent video useful, although it pretty much echos what others have said: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9yf31vQiKw

I have both the 2.8F and the 3.5F. These are great carry around cameras; compact and relatively light. Like many responders, I enjoy the 3.5 more. The Rollieflexes are my most used film cameras.

I also own a 503CW and a 203FE. Completely different animals. The modularity is unbeatable if you are the type of person who likes or needs to mix focal lengths or switch film types. On the other hand, while I use these cameras handheld, their weight makes a tripod extremely helpful. Another point to keep in mind, as Godfrey has pointed out, the new digital back breathes new life into this old equipment.

Good Luck!
