Rolleiflex 3003 Brochure:

f2.8 – 22
Angle of view: 80^o
Close focus distance:  0.25m
Filter size: 49mm 

I find this lens a very nice and comfortable wide angle lens to use. At that point of time Zeiss only made a 25mm for the Rolleiflex. Zeiss designed 28mm was available for the Contax C/Y mount but not in Rollei QBM mount.  The 25mm has a very strong character. This character is very apparent when photographing situation with objects present from the near to far distance. The lens has very good sharpness and very good depth of field.
