Selling a rather unique Rolleiflex 2.8E with f/2.8 Xenotar lens. The camera has been modified with a noritta prism so that all images are now right side up. Makes for a brilliant portrait camera. The front taking lens has some scratches and a bit of coating damage none of which effect images in anyway. I have personally used this camera and it makes beautiful images.

Camera has just been CLA'd and functions perfectly. Absolutely no issues. I'am selling becuase I decided to keep my 2.8E Planar and don't need two Rolleiflex's












I'am open to trade offers for other medium format gear (especially a 3.5 rolleiflex) or micro 43 gear


Looking to get $600. Price includes shipping to the US and paypal fees.

Great idea. I had one w/ the Rolleiflex prism, and that was an ungainly, big thing. The Noritta prism looks much, much better. In fact, it looks like a factory prism (except for the tape), while the Rolleiflex prisms always looked to me like something they found in a parts bin and said "hey, this will work".
 
Speaking of mounting a prism, the Hasselblad NC-2 prism slides right into the stripped-down Rolleiflex hood mount after you remove the NC-2's mounting plate. It takes some spacers to get it to sit above the focus screen at a height that will be in focus. I found the 45 degree prism to be easier to handle than the 90 degree prisms.
 
Ok, lets drop the price to $500? I pay shipping you take care of any paypal fees
 
Price drop to $450 again I pay insured shipping. You pay any paypal fees
 
Wow $450. That baby is a dream. If I didn't just buy a Pentax 6x7 I would so happily buy this. I am going to be dreaming of 6x6 TLRs. Gosh. I am green with envy
