Now that I've completely given into photography, I decided to look back in time. I began collating all cameras in my immediate family and ended up with a mini museum. Here's the list:Rolleiflex 2.8F
Year of Manufacture: 1960s
Film Type: 120mm, Medium Format, 12 exposures
Focussing: Manual, TLR

Comment: Though I am yet to see the Rolleiflex 2.8F in flesh-and-blood, my dad tells me it is somewhere safe in the house.

I am not sure what you mean by year of manufacture but the F75 is a 2003 release. I have the same Rolliflex at home and my mum refuses to give it to me till I know how to use the F75 perfectly!
