- The Planar 2.8/80mm is the same optical formula in the Rollei and in the Hasselblad,
- so there should be no difference in theory. If both were made to similar tolerances,
- I doubt if you'll ever notice any difference- and both are now multicoated.
-
- Rollei puts no suggested list price on these cameras in the US, and leaves it up
- to the dealers. Cheapest I've seen them advertised new is around $2000. How old
- is yours, what kind of condition, what are they asking? Only then can you evaluate
- if it is a good bargain...
