Simple Rollei Question

[tedwhite]

OK, I know a Rolleiflex E with the 2.8 xenotar isn't an RF camera. But I've got one in addition to my RF camera and can't seem to find out whether it uses Bay I, Bay II, or Bay III filters?

Perhaps someone can help me out here.

Thanks, G-Man. Now I know which size to bid on.

All 2.8 planar and xenoter lenses are bay III and all 3.5 tessar, xenar, planar and xenotar are bay I. Bay II was only on one model to my knowledge. I don't think I've ever seen one.

Looks like the 2.8E does take Bay III. There are quite a few models that take Bay II, at least according to Harry Fleenor's serial number guide, http://www.rolleirepairs.com/models.htm

All Planar and Xenotar 3.5's take Bay II. All Tessar and Xenar 3.5's take Bay I, except the very earliest cameras without bayonet fittings.
