Only the best lenses are good enough for a profes- sional camera system.
For your Rolleiflex 6008 AF and Rolleiflex 6008 Integral2 you may choose between lenses from ultra-wide-angle, wide-angle and standard lenses to telephoto, zoom and several special-purposes lenses. All of them cut- ting-edge products made by Carl Zeiss and Schneider- Kreuznach, the world-famous specialists for medium- format optics. All of them with Rollei HFT coating (High Fidelity Transfer) for optimum flare suppression and bril- liant colors.
Our PQ (Professional Quality) and PQS lenses, the latter with a top shutter speed of 1/1000 s, are the result of advanced optical design techniques, innovative technol- ogy and permanent optimization. All of them use the unique Rollei Direct-Drive technology: The diaphragm and shutter blades in the lens are driven by two linear motors and very precisely controlled and monitored in 1/3 increments by the camera’s microcomputer. Control pulses and power are transmitted from the camera to the lens via ten gold-plated contacts – without friction, free from wear and with high speed. As soon as the lens is in place on the camera, all important informa- tion is immediately transferred to the camera. In other words, you are instantly ready to shoot.
PQ and PQS lenses by Franke & Heidecke, Carl Zeiss and Schneider-Kreuznach are in a class of their own. They are the ideal combination of between-the-lens and focal-plane shutter technology, offering both wide apertures and fast top shutter speeds that are fully syn- chronized. Their outstanding features are optimum sharpness, color rendition and brilliance as well as reli- ability and high operating speed.
Schneider AF-Longar Converter 1.4x HFT
High-quality teleconverter extending the focal length of Rollei AF lenses 1.4x. Aperture values change by only one f-stop. The AF-Tele-Xenar 180 mm f/2.8 thus becomes a high-speed 250 mm f/4. No change in mini- mum focusing distance!
Cat. No. 711.61.044
Glass
A combination of proper lens curvatures and suitable glass types are your guarantee that the Rollei line of lenses are optimally corrected for aberrations for sharp and brilliant pictures. Carl Zeiss, Schneider-Kreuznach and Franke & Heidecke use advanced glass types, some of which with particularly high refractive indices.
Mechanics
A lens consists of several elements, some of which may be combined in components. These are axially shifted for focusing and zooming, sometimes even in opposite directions. All these motions have to be very precise in order not to degrade the high performance of the lenses over their entire focusing and zooming ranges. Precise manufacturing techniques and high-quality materials make sure that the tight tolerances are met even after many years of use.
Anti-reflection coating
Lenses for Rollei cameras are HFT coated (High Fidelity Transfer). The coating consists of special ultra-thin films evaporated on the lens surfaces. The result is a notice- able reduction in the amount of light reflected from the lens elements and thus less contrast-degrading flare. Also, light transmission is increased, allowing full use to be made of lens speed.
Centration
As a user of a Series 6000 Rolleiflex SLR, you have a right to expect edge-to-edge sharpness in your pictures. Reason enough for the manufacturers of these lenses to place special emphasis on the exact centration of their optical components.
Schneider AF-Super-Angulon 2.8/50 mm HFT PQS
With its high speed of f/2.8, this high-performance wide-angle lens offers a very bright viewfinder image. It is particularly versatile for indoor photography with available light.
Cat. No. 711.81.012
Schneider AF-Xenotar 2.8/80 mm HFT PQS
The classical standard focal length for fast general purpose AF shooting in almost all areas of photography. Its legendary sharpness is complemented by a super- fast 1/1000 s for fast-moving subjects or when using high-speed film.
Cat. No. 711.81.014
