But what KEH generally sells as Excellent is very nice. I'm a Rollei shooter and not a collector (well maybe a little) and I've been looking for a nice 2.8F Planar 12/24 for a couple of years. If it looks as nice as the 2.8F on the Ritz site and the meter, lens and shutter are good I would pay up to $900 for it. Because the prices are coming down I wouldn't go above that.
