Hi noddy. I am Korean. In Korea It's also difficult to buy...

I bought my one at HongKong one of my friend had a chance to go there and I asked him to buy FX.

So far as I know HongKong is much cheaper place to buy.I am not so sure but At e-bay a women sold FX, and she said she bought at FX at newyork about 3000 USD and furthermore The exchange rate of Yuro getting higher.

I am sorry that I can't give any information that you need...

Have a nice day...

Subject: Response to Rolleiflex GX and FX - are they really different?

I recently buy a new 2.8 FX (I had used 2.8 GX early model with synchro compur shutter...)

I agree with the GX and FX are similar... The Conspicuous difference, even it is not so big for the picture but for the owner's fancies, is following, I think..

1. AS you mentioned. the skin is brown eligater type lether. really beautiful and luxurious and the rollei mark is so classic...

2. shutter is different..I contacted with Rollei company about the shutter.. and They replied to me that After 2002 summer the don't use seiko but use copal shutter.So early model of FX is Seiko.. ( I've experienced compur shutter for old 2.8 F, 2.8 GX.3.5 Xenotar, seiko shutter for 2.8 GX later model. and copal shutter for 2.8 FX. I favor copal and 2.8 F compur shutter. Compur for 2.8 GX was not so good as the 2.8 F and copal. but better than seiko's that made me feel much spring elsaticity feeling like shooting gun.)

3.I don't konw the reason but the screen became brighter... I didn't comfirm this fact to rollei company. but, more easy to focusing. GX screen was bright but I always used magnifier for exact focus. but In case of FX. It is not so difficult to focus on subject without using magnifier... I can feel more contrast through the screen. so It is easy...

I bought FX.. but If you want only about picture.. I think GX is choice Otherwise If you care about the machine and picture at the same time, and can afford much money for 1 fixed lens camera for over 2400 USD. then Buy a new FX. It will not disappoint you...

Have a nice day...

I have used rolleiflex 2.8 F serial number around 2,4xx,xxx, 3.5 F

xenotar 2,3xx,xxx and Now I only have 2.8 Gx around 3,0xx,xxx

My question is that I've heard that 2.8F xenotar around 2,9xx,xxx

has a quiet different coating with older model and It shows good

picture at backlight. Is this true?

The reason why I am asking this question is, I liked xeontar lens

color and sharpness. but In backlighted shot my old 3.5 xenotar

didn't show good picture compared with my old 2.8F.(both are not

HFT)

If 2.8F xenotar 2,9xx,xxx shows good picture at backlighted shot,

Then I'll buy a new xenotar.

Please Let me know the differences....

sincerly...
