Sinar 6008 Integral, 6008 AF Flare reduction, Schneider AF-Tele-Xenar 4/150 mm HFT PQS, Sharpness

Top-notch Lenses

Flare reduction

In addition to anti-reflection coating, additional care is taken to minimize flare. Special black varnish blocks out light that might be reflected into the optical path, and a separate pin-hole diaphragm cuts off any and all light rays that are not required for image formation. (This pin-hole diaphragm should not be confused with the iris diaphragm that is needed for exposure and depth- of-field control.)

Schneider AF-Tele-Xenar 4/150 mm HFT PQS

Classical focal length best suited for portraiture in the 6x6 medium format. Produces the ideal perspective for the classical portraiture work with head and shoulder. Excellent performance in the close range thanks to its floating lens element.

Cat. No. 711.81.016

Neutral colors

Due to different glass types used for the different lens elements, lenses may exhibit subtle differences in color rendition. The design of dedicated Rollei lenses there- fore places special emphasis on reducing these color variations to an absolute minimum. In practical terms this means that pictures taken of one and the same subject with different lenses will have identical color characteristics and can thus be combined without any problem.

Sharpness

This is the product of the resolving power and contrast rendition of a lens – criteria that are given great impor- tance in the design of Rollei camera lenses. Precise focusing is easy due to the bright focusing screens of Rolleiflex 6000 Series cameras (and the fast and precise autofocus of the Rolleiflex 6008 AF) and makes sure that your pictures are tack-sharp.

Lens speed

Lens speed, or the aperture ratio, is an important crite- rion for choosing lenses. The higher the speed of your lenses, the longer will you be able to shoot without a tripod or flash unit and the easier the use of selective focus for creative composition. High lens speed and high performance, however, are difficult to reconcile. Still, the high standards employed in the design and production of Rollei lenses are your guarantee that even at full aperture your pictures will be brilliant and sharp from edge to edge.

Schneider AF-Tele-Xenar 2.8/180 mm HFT PQ

High-speed and high-performance telephoto lens par- ticularly well-suited for portraiture, sports and fashion photography. Its wide initial aperture is ideal for selec- tive focusing, available-light and action photography requiring fast shutter speeds.

Cat. No. 711.81.018

Precise aperture control

The aperture, on the one hand, controls the amount of light reaching the film, on the other the depth of field in your pictures. At wide apertures, depth of field is shallow. Only the plane you have focused on will appear sharp, the fore and background being blurred. Owing to the almost circular shape of the lens aperture in Rollei lenses, the transition from sharp to blurred

is very smooth and pleasing, while reflections in

the blurred portions of the subject appear round and natural.

Specially designed for Rolleiflex 6008 AF cameras, there is a line of pioneering autofocus lenses. These latest lenses by Schneider-Kreuznach provide a degree of focusing comfort that makes full use of the high speed of the 6008 AF. Thanks to fast and precise focusing, you can concentrate fully on your subject.

On a Rolleiflex 6008 integral, 6003 professional or

6001 professional, these AF lenses may be used with manual focusing.
