Franke and Heidecke launched the 2.8F in 1960 and kept it in production for twenty years; the first run alone, to 1966, came to some 75,000 cameras. It carries a built in selenium meter reading out beside the focusing knob, a removable hood that accepts interchangeable finders, Bayonet III fittings and a Synchro-Compur leaf shutter running 1 to 1/500s with a self timer. The taking lens is an 80mm f/2.8, either the Carl Zeiss Planar or the Schneider Xenotar.
