Fast Rolleiflex 2.8C with Schneider Xenotar, early f/2.8 TLR with clean pre-meter design from 1952.

The Rolleiflex 2.8C with Schneider Xenotar 80mm f/2.8 is a professional TLR from 1952 that brought the fast f/2.8 aperture to the Rolleiflex line. The Xenotar lens provides excellent image quality on the 6x6cm frame with the faster aperture enabling lower-light shooting and better subject isolation than f/3.5 models.

The f/2.8 aperture provides a full stop more light than the 3.5 series, creating a brighter ground glass image for easier focusing and more background blur for portrait work. The Schneider Xenotar is widely considered optically excellent, rivalling the Zeiss Planar alternative offered on other 2.8 models.

Build quality is legendary Franke & Heidecke precision with the Synchro-Compur leaf shutter providing flash sync at all speeds. The 2.8C was an early model in the f/2.8 Rolleiflex line, and examples in good condition are prized for their pre-selenium-meter simplicity and clean design.

The Rolleiflex 2.8C Xenotar holds strong value on the used market as a quality fast TLR with the respected Schneider optics. The f/2.8 speed commands a premium over 3.5 models, and the early C version has collector appeal for its clean, uncluttered design without a built-in meter.
