This specific unit (S\/N: 1651350) dates from approximately 1956 and represents the very best of Franke \u0026amp; Heidecke’s craftsmanship. The f\/2.8 lens provides a depth-of-field and 'pop' that 3.5 models simply cannot replicate. Holding a Rolleiflex is a tactile experience like no other; the weight, the sound of the leaf shutter, and the sheer quality of the 6x6 negative make it a camera that every serious photographer should use at least once.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\" id=\"p-rc_2d5b7eb9c1985f6b-454\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCondition Report\u003c\/b\u003e Good condition.
