Aahh.....! Which Rolleiflex 2.8F to buy?

Update:

I got the camera back from Mr. Mickelboro (he was really quick), he did some adjustments for me and serviced the camera, good man.

Unfortunately, the winter is hellish over here now, so I've not been able to go outside to do some real photography with the camera (only test-shots so far).
- Choosing between shooting in -15 degrees celsius with clear skies or -2.5 degrees and heavy now isn't really an option for me, I'll wait for the spring

Anyway, I made a blog entry about the camera here if anyone is interested:

Looking forward to some practical shooting with the camera asap \o/

I've always used a Rollei T with 3.5 Tessar lens, I seem to recall reading that with some 2.8 models you actually feed the film leader THROUGH the metal roller, rather than over it as is the case with other Rolleis. Is there a 2.8 user who can confirm or deny this?

As far as I am concerned it is good riddance. IMO the auto feeler had almost no value beyond being a selling point. I trust the red dot and arrows in my FX far more than the auto feeler in my F.
