Based on the serial number, this Rolleiflex 2.8C, Model K7C, dates from 1955.
Taking Lens: Xenotar 2,8/80mm
Finder lens: Heidosmat 2,8/80mm, Bayonet III, Zeiss & Schneider. Interchangeable finder loupe. Parallax control.
Shutter: Compur Rapid MXV, 1 - 1/500 sec., B, M-X-sync.
Film: 120 for 12 exp. 6x6, and 35mm adapter Rolleikin 2. Equipped with 2-format back w. adjustable film pressure plate.
The camera has been modified for the Rolleikin 2 35mm conversion kit (notice the 36-exposure counter on upper knob). If you buy the kit and shoot a roll of 35mm film, press the center of the knob after each shot to advance the counter.
Both lenses are very clean and clear, though the Taking lens shows a few tiny spots of lens separation. They are essentially invisible unless you're holding the camera at a specific angle to a light source. I have absolutely no doubt these spots will NOT impair the image.
Shutter speeds sound correct at higher speeds, but may lag at the slow speeds.
Self-timer functions as designed.
Some dust on the Finding mirror, but that can be easily cleaned.
An excellent specimen of the model!
Asking $700, plus S/H (5-6 lbs, from US zip code 47401, with full insurance). I will ship internationally.
