The legendary reputation of the twin-lens Rolleiflex
is, of course, due in large part to its outstanding
lenses. Names like Zeiss Tessar, Schneider Xenotar and
Zeiss Planar - to mention only a few of the f/2,8 lenses
- are synonymous with superior optical precision and
performance. They have helped cement the worldwide fame
of photographic equipment "Made in Germany".
Rollei makes some of the top Zeiss lenses under license
at Brunswick, such as the 80mm Planar f/2,8 HFT for
the Rolleiflex 2.8 FX.
Its design ensures minimum curvature of field and very
high correction of chromatic aberrations. With its Rollei
HFT coating, this lens therefore guarantees outstanding
resolution, excellent contrast rendition and superior
color saturation.
