Lock system for flash leads and shutter release. A 1969 camera will usually cost more than a 1954 camera, and a 2.8 model will typically cost more than the same era 3.5 model, etc. Synchro-Compur shutter, 1-500th second, 'X' and 'M' flash synch + delayed action, removable focus hood with 'sports and reflected magnified ground glass viewing' built-in Selenium cell exposure meter ( STILL accurate !) with Incident Light attachment, lens stops from f2.8 -22 set by a thumb wheel as are shutter speeds. The cost of a Rolleiflex can vary drastically, but in a general sense the newer the camera and the better the features, the more it will cost. I posted a WTS add on Flickr for my system about 2 years ago. Recipe: Ilford Delta 4 film Ilfosol 3 developer. All accept at least 120 film, models from the 2.8F (2.455.000) onwards also take 220 film. All models have a winding lever that stops at the first exposure.
Only exception is the first version of the 2.8A. Although the last remnants of Rollei as we know it vanished completely in 2015, it was and is considered one of the greatest names in photography.

The camera produces 6×6 square format images on 120 film. When i was a member of Barking Photographic Society ( I resigned in 1987 after over 30 years) the Chairman John Hone had a Rolleiflex 2.8F Planar bought from a bloke who had hardly used it then John didn't want it so offered it to me for £ 250- 00 a lot of money - but OK, I got it then found all pics were out of focus and shutter had a fault so he said "get it fixed" and he would deduct the cost, so I took it to London, Franke& Heideke Rollei Service and they discovered focus screen was in upside down and gave it CLA all for £50-00 so I got it for £ 200-00 in the end and got my money back on many weddings I did !! The leather strap broke as it had dried out but I got a replacement for £ 7 -00 from a Brentwood Saddlery shop who did a good job and have not had any trouble since. The Rolleiflex 2.8C is a medium format, twin lens reflex camera introduced in 1952 by Franke & Heidecke, aka Rollei GmbH of Germany.
