So it looks like Zeiss did use HFT even for the lenses they produced in Oberkochen. Rollei isn't mentioned anywhere on that lens except for the front lens cap. I have a Tele-Tessar 135 which is branded Carl Zeiss Made in West Germany, and was for sure made at Oberkochen, but it still is HFT. I don't know if Zeiss ever made a T* version with a QBM mount.
I think the early version of the lens could've been made by Rollei in West Germany at the old Voigtländer factory, in Brunswick. I thought all HFT coated lenses were Rollei's? Wouldn't Zeiss made lens have a T*? Right now switching back to AF because of work needs but I still love the MF lenses My name is "Yalcin", and exactly "Yalçın" and here you can find my MF samples: Oh, and an Aero Ektar and Leica NoctiluxĮarly productions are all West Germany made but when Zeiss couldn't delivered the lenses in time to Rollei, Rollei started producing them in its own production facility, Singapore. Graflex Seried D, Rolleiflex SL66E, Rolleiflex 2.8C Xenotar, Mamiya C330f, a few M42, six P6, three OM, four Hasselblad, two Pentax 67, two Mamiya 645, one Noritar, and a sprinkle of EF. Sony α7R, Pentax 67II, Kiev-60, Hasselblad 203FE, 903SWC, Graflex Norita 66, Mamiya M645 1000s, Burke & James 8x10, Graflex Pacemaker Speed Graphic (4x5 and 3x4), Century Graphic (2x3), R.B. Since the Rollei version can't be mounted on my K20D, they have to be used with my 5D, so I guess I'll just have to not shoot anything beyond 10m, or, I'll shoot to infinity using hyperfocal (f8 should do the trick, if not f5.6). I can easily take that front ring off the two lenses and swap them to make the M42 lens say Rollei HFT and QBM say Voigtländer Color-Ultron (that one isn't surprising because they actually made QBM versions of the Color-Ultron).Īll, invariably, hit the 5D mirros above the 10m mark. Incidentally, one of my Planars was a dead ringer for the Color-Ultron, as in everything looks identical (except of course the mount). Same goes with the Voigtländer Color-Ultron 50/1.8. Maybe the very very first ones were made in Germany. I received my two HFT Planar 50/1.8s today (speaking of the devil), and one clearly says "Made in Singapore" but I believe all Rollei HFT Planar 50/1.8s were made in Singapore.
Hi, is this the lens that Made in Singapore ? I had been trying to find a lens that made from my country.
