Need quick feedback if > possible - thanks I might be a bit late on this but, it sound like a 1953 Rolleiflex Automat 2.8C, or a 1955 2.8D. 2.8D had the LV scale on the shutter knob. Both camera's used the Schneider Xenotar lens. Value?? Depends on lens condition and shutter speeds accuracy. When used in cold climate, Rolleiflex and Rolleicord shutters needing CLA can become quite erratic. Ed Birch, Pennsylvania. - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
