The most desirable Rolleiflex variant: 3.5F Model 2 with Carl Zeiss Planar 75mm, pinnacle of TLR photography.

The Rolleiflex 3.5F Model 2 with Carl Zeiss Planar 75mm f/3.5 is a specific variant of the legendary Rolleiflex twin-lens reflex, distinguished by the Planar-type taking lens that is generally considered the more desirable of the two optical configurations offered. The Model 2 designation indicates the later production run with refined specifications.

The Carl Zeiss Planar 75mm f/3.5 taking lens delivers extraordinary sharpness with beautiful rendering on the 6x6cm medium format frame. The Planar's optical design produces images with outstanding micro-contrast and a three-dimensional quality that has made these cameras the preferred choice for portrait and fine art photographers for over six decades.

This Model 2 variant incorporates improvements over the original 3.5F including refined metering, improved film transport, and subtle mechanical refinements. The Synchro-Compur leaf shutter provides flash synchronisation at all speeds up to 1/500s, and the waist-level finder offers an immersive ground glass viewing experience.

Planar-equipped Rolleiflex 3.5F models command the highest prices among Rolleiflex cameras on the used market, reflecting the universal consensus that the Planar lens produces superior results to the Schneider Xenotar alternative. The Model 2 with its refinements is particularly sought after by photographers who intend to use the camera actively rather than display it.
