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
Lens speed

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.

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
