I'm looking for an f2.8 version of the Advocate.

Dunk
Advocate was only made with either f4.5 or f3.5 lenses. Either made by Dallmeyer or Wray. there is an Advocate list on the web somewhere. The bodies were in the main white/cream, but there are rare versions with black (looks horrible) or khaki (looks even worse!!) If you have seen one with a f2.8 it has been modified by somone!!
Yes the pictures are from MW. My Advocate was my fathers and has been in the family since new, I have the original box,instructions and publicity flier. Its a late f3.5 synched model with Dallmeyer lens.
