Re: [Rollei] Vintage of various Rolleiflex GX Models ?



Hello Phong,

No, the Expression was made from Mid 1995 - end of 1996. I was quoting 
from Mr. Prochnow's book Rollei Report 5 from 1997. Your 80 Years 
Anniversary model is from 2000 and therefore not referenced in the 
book. So, we are not sure about the shutter.

PR.../.. is the reference number Mr. Prochnow assigned to Rollei 
products and models. It is an easy way to name a camera model.

Kind regards,
Ferdi.
