Bob, that is not a book Prochnow's work
representative, the Rollei Report  and the technical
Report and the Rollei Report 35 are SEVEN books with
thousands of pages where each model manufactured by
Rollei is commented.
The Rolleiflex 2.8A with lens Carl Zeis Jena 2.8/80
Tessar IS REFERRED AS PR 155, IN ROLLEI REPROT 2, page
16-351.-

All the best
Carlos
