Two questions for the fine experts on this list
Q.1.
Many years ago I had to sell my Zeiss Ikon "super ikonta" 533/16 with a Tessar 2,8 as I was in bad need for cash. Now I found one that might end at a reasonable price. The tessar is a Zeiss Opton - How will that compare to the Zeiss Opton Tessar 3,5 75 mm on my Rolleiflex Automat 1951-54 - ??? I guess the super Ikonta is a lot older ? but I do remember that it was the nicest folder I worked with ??
Q.2.
The other day I stopped by a photo store that was on its way to close down buisiness
He had a rolleieflex with a built in lightmeter, coupled speed and f stop - and a planar 3,5. He said that he had been told that the planar 3,5 was better then the 2,8 at the time he got the camera. It had been in his possesion since new - i guess late 1950 early 1960 -
Is it true about the planar ?? is the coupled speed and f stop dials troublesome ?? I am thinking about talking him into selling it - would it be worth the effort ??
all the best Ruben
