What it is
{"overview":"The Rolleiflex 2.8F is a 6x6 medium-format twin-lens reflex camera made by Franke & Heidecke in Germany, introduced in 1960 as the top model in the 2.8-series TLR line. Condition and completeness drive the spread more than any other factor, so what a 2.8F is worth at wholesale level depends heavily on optics, shutter health and cosmetics.","buying_guide":"Inspect the taking lens for internal haze and separation, check that all shutter speeds fire cleanly (the slow speeds are the first to drag), and test film transport and frame spacing through a full roll. The selenium meter cell, where fitted, is commonly dead or inaccurate and is not a cheap repair; focusing screens and leatherette are often replaced, and original cases, lens caps and Rolleinar close-up sets lift the price.

Questions
Is the Planar or Xenotar version more valuable?
Both lenses are highly regarded and the sales data does not show a consistent premium for either; condition of the individual lens and shutter matters more to the final value than the brand of glass.
Does a working meter affect the value?
Yes — the selenium meter in the 2.8F is often dead, and examples with an accurate, responsive meter tend to sell toward the top of the range while dead-meter bodies pull the price down.
