Which Rolleiflex?

Only a few notes. 2.8s are front heavy. 3.5s balance nicely. Maxwell screens are great. Planars have round, evenly illuminated OOF circles, Xenotars are oval and have bright rings, though Xenotars are said to be better (to compete with Zeiss's brand recognition in America; Schneider is preferred in Europe). Fs are not the only ones with interchangeable finders. They were introduced by the 2.8E type 2, which the Rolleiwide is based on.

I think the best value is a 3.5F Planar ($500-700 in ex to mint-).

I just wanted to thank everyone for taking the time to offer their opinions on this thread, and adding to my (and hopefully others, too) Rollei enightenment/knowledge. RFF is great! 🙂
