Want to Buy Unicorn found: Rolleiflex 2.8C Xenotar

Dan Daniel · Aug 26, 2024

Looking to buy a 2.8C with clean Xenotar lens. Overall cosmetics is not important. Good mechanical condition is important. 'User' grade, I guess? Or better.

Clean lens. I know how hard it is to find perfect for these soft coatings, but no coating mottling, no separation.

I had a very nice one of these years ago and regret selling it. Looking to get back to that look of the Xenotar and the 10-bladed aperture.

Thanks!

I have a 2.8C with the Xenotar, sorry OP it’s not for sale.
I thought the Planar models were more illusive and maybe more sought after.

Not a unicorn, my 2.8C Xenotar is basically pristine, no marks at all.
Cosmetically is really nice 9/10 even it has the plastic parts.

The Unicorn is a clean Xenotar with fully intact undamaged coating. And yes, I consider the rendering of the Xenotar on the 2.8C to be superior to the Planar.

It may be an illusion but not as elusive as I thought! Mission accomplished- soon to be proud owner of my own unicorn

My 2.8C Xenotar was repaired by you @Dan Daniel , where you made the focusing bellows by hand. I still have it and enjoy using it. Glad you found your unicorn too!
