Sorry you guys wasted so much money on RR and Bentley's... they are not
really anything to write home about and way overpriced... maybe you
could sell them and get yourselves a decent camera?  8-)

As for the TeleRollei, I bought mine for less than just the prices 135s
for the KO are going for. That lens, BTW, is a Sonnar clone... I'd
rather have the real thing, thanks, along with a viewfinder which is
useful for portraiture...

In terms of the RB67 and close focus... I don;t think you'd want to get
in even as close as the rollei 2.8 C lets you... pronounced perspective
distortion closer than about 5 feet... for close up work, there are the
rollei close up lenses complete with parallax correction... very useful.

BTW, the 2.8 C DOES have parallax correction built in, as virtually all
rolleiflexes and modern (IIIs and up) rolleicords do.

Cheers,
