The production of the Rolleiflex 2.8 C with Xenotar started earlier than the 2.8 C with Planar although the second one has a block with lower numbers.
Sometimes a production run is delayed and another run with higher numbers comes first. As a consequence a serial number cannot easily be linked to a specific production day. In the camera industry it is common practise to allocate numbers blocks based on production plans. So all E-models (E, E2 and E3) are grouped together although E2 and E3 models were produced concurrent with F-models resulting in higher serial numbers and later production dates. The data are grouped by camera line rather than sequential by serial numbers or chronological by production dates. I added recent information and also deleted data that most probably were incorrect. I have re-arranged and updated the original data-base. Like most serial numbers lists this chart may contain errors and now and then cameras pop up that do not “fit in”. The following charts are mainly based on Prochnow’s and Rongsted’s work. His list is not hosted on the net anymore. Peter Rongsted did a lot of work linking the camera names used by Prochnow, Parker and Evans. I'm somewhat familiar with medium- format, having. An acquaintance recently gave me her father's Rolleiflex, a 2.8E Planar (serial number 1655409). After Lens Serial # 2753002, the Planar lens had 6.
