news Hello All How much [$$$] should I expect to cough out for: RolleiFlex 2.8 F with Meter The current trend is _down_ on those. With the Planar, between $1,200 and $500. With the Xeonotar from $700 to $300. This is a good time to buy one in a competitive market. Forget what dealers are asking for them. |

I don't know what the market is like in India. There is one gent on
eBay who sells Rolleiflex. I think he's located in Delhi. In any event, the US market is as "jjs" describes. Check the serial number of your camera then use google to search for one of several sites that can help you calculate the date of manufacture. Early 2.8F cameras may not fetch as much as later models. Then do a search of completed items on eBay and see what today's market is for your serial number range. As we mentioned, there is tremendous downward pressure on pricing just now. This can be good for the buyer (you?), and bad for sellers who thought they were sitting on something valuable. I've paid as little as $350US for a f/2.8 Xenotar and have seen as much as $1500US paid for a very late WhiteFace f/2.8 Planar (supposedly rare). I hope this helps. Regards - Chris Paresh R.
