Rolleiflex 2.8D (1956) featuring the early-generation 5-element Carl Zeiss Planar 80/2.8 lens, a true classic from the golden age of medium format photography. This lens is renowned for its exceptional 3D pop, smooth tonal transitions, and distinctly vintage rendering, making it especially well-suited for portraiture and candid color photography. Compared to later versions, it retains a more classical character reminiscent of the 2.8C and early 2.8E models. On black and white film, it excels with beautifully nuanced gradation from shadows to highlights, offering rich tonality and depth that bring images vividly to life.

For collectors: The Rolleiflex 2.8D is increasingly difficult to find with a clean, intact lens. Most early-generation Carl Zeiss Planar 80mm f/2.8 lenses suffer from common issues such as coating deterioration, lens separation, or significant haze due to age. This particular example stands out, the lens is in exceptional condition, with no marks, no haze, and no signs of coating degradation. A rare find for both collectors and serious shooters alike.

Please note that the photos show the current condition of the camera (and it is truly great for its age; each camera was personally preselected by me), but the final condition of the camera will be improved during the restoration process, which gives the restored camera a fresh appearance and operating feeling!

!!!IMPORTANT!!!

The camera will be completely rebuilt and re-adjusted!
The amount of work is greater than the usual "CLA":

I check the entire camera and disassemble it completely, returning all internal details and settings to the factory state or even improving the factory settings with modern instruments, testing all functions, cleaning, updating, lubricating, and readjusting the whole camera. Therefore, all functions will work precisely and even smoother than out of the factory; the focus is set to the film plane and also tested on a special stand for excellent focusing accuracy.

A new PRO SUPER bright screen will be installed during the rebuild process
