The 2.8 Tessar is the worst Rolleiflex lens of them all. As this model (2.8A from 1950 was supposedly recalled by the factory it should be rare and therefore it might be expensive. McKeown´s book states $250-375 USD. As a photographic tool - well...
All the best!

>I just got a Rolleiflex from an attic of my relative. I believe it model A

>Comments on value, not in term of money of course, of this camera and the
>performance of Zeiss Tessar would be appreciated?
