Paul did good work for me, too. I seem ti have misplaced his contact info and cannot find pointers to him on the web. Is he still working?

Hmmmm. I have a clean 3.5E (Xenotar) that was CLA'd by Harry Fleenor a couple of years ago, and a clean 2.8E (Planar) that was CLA'd by Krikor Maralian and re-cemented by John Van Stelton (how's that for name dropping?).
They just sit while I chase my kids and take the odd picture with my DSLR. I'll have to think about putting them on the Classified section....

$1200 or more

The 2.8C, 2.8D, and 2.8E models or any models with the 2.8 Xenotar are cheaper, but not exactly cheap if the condition is good. The Xenotar is a killer lens of course - just lacks that Zeiss name appeal.

Where does the f/2.8 Zeiss Jena Biometer fit in this, as far as both image quality and price?

Not sure about the Biometer - I think this are fairly rare.

Ok, I admit to being a gear whore. (GASsy, I believe the local phrase is...?)
But returning to photography as an adult without children making a decent wage, at a time when film cameras of my dreams are now going for relative peanuts, I've been unable to control myself.
And I jumped on an auction site's 2.8E with Planar a few weeks ago ($550 without bidding wars!!); finally got it here in Africa. (This is what's happening to the Rollei supply!) Shot a test roll today. Holy crap. Even though the negs are still drying, I can tell this lens is something special.

I have my 2 Rolleiflexes so I'm happy. One with Planar, one with Tessar.

I found a baby for $150 with new (blue!) leather from Cameraleather on it...case, strap, everything.
Hoping it'll be just as much fun and even more portable. My first TLR was going to be a baby, until the guy at the flea market (at a photo counter) realized that it took 127 instead of 120 and through his honesty smashed my teenage dreams.
Time to order a big brick of 127!!

I bought an extremely clean, mechanically perfect, 2.8F Planar with prism and a case that fits the flex with the prism attached for just over $900 5 years ago.
That was a steal.
I just looked at the completed listings for 2.8Fs and the prices don't seem crazy to me.

I love my F3.5 Planar V.4 w/Mamiya RZ screen. Quieter than the f2.8!!!
Approximately $550 (Ex++/Mint- )

at these prices, it looks like I'll be shooting my C220 w/105mm lens for quite a while longer. At least until the house is paid off

I have a F3.5 I bought from Krikor. It's one camera I decided to keep when I thinned my collection.

KEH seems to have a few and my Google search turned up a few more. I love my Rolleis and I'm so glad I had no luck in selling one of them here a few months ago. Now that I'm retired I have time for a bit of slow photography!
