Another attic find, a Japanese Rolleiflex copy with a Canter 2.8/80 lens in a Copal shutter (1/1s - 1/300s), takes Bay III Rolleiflex accessories on both lenses. It is in very good shape and seems to be in working order.

Looks great. I had no idea that a 2.8 version was ever made of these camera's. Have you any knowledge about the build of the taking lens?
Do you try to make some samples?

There were at least three different 2.8 models made, see

I haven't been able to find any information concerning the lens.

I haven't had much time for photography lately, but I certainly intend to test this camera, perhaps later this summer.
