What it is

{"overview":"The Rolleiflex 2.8 A (Automat 2.8A) is a medium-format twin-lens reflex camera made by Rollei, taking 6x6cm images on 120 roll film. Because this figure is a saleroom hammer price it excludes buyer's and seller's commission, and condition, completeness and lens clarity drive most of the variation in what these cameras sell for.","buying_guide":"Inspect the taking and viewing lenses for haze, fungus and separation, check that the shutter fires accurately at all speeds, and confirm the film transport and frame counter cycle smoothly. The leatherette often lifts on examples of this age and the focusing screen can be dim; specialist Rollei service technicians in the UK and Germany still handle CLA work, though some early-specific parts are scarce.","specs":"Twin-lens reflex for 6x6cm exposures on 120 film, fitted with an f\/2.8 taking lens and a between-the-lens leaf shutter.

Questions

Is the Rolleiflex 2.8 A the same as later 2.8 models?

No — the 2.8 A was the first f/2.8 Rolleiflex and was followed by later 2.8 variants, so price comparisons should be made against the same sub-model rather than the 2.8 series as a whole.
