Ein Parkpfleger im Mirabellgarten_Rolleiflex 2.8E

During the last 40 years I had different models of 6x6 cameras and some Rolleiflex. Of the Rolleis some were very sharp (2.8D, 2.8E, 3.5B) others not (2.8F). This one, the 2.8E is very sharp again and has a fantastic bokeh. This brings me to the conclusion, that some of the old ladies are very different in quality. Of course it depends of the condition of the camera and if it is serviced or not too.
