Well,
I also saw the new website.
Reason that now all lenses are marked "Apogon" maybe the following:
DHW just did not get or was not able/willing to pay the license fee to Zeiss
for using their brand names for the lenses.
Maybe the license Zeiss granted to Rollei is still hold by "Rollei", not by
DHW. And the negotiations to use the brand names came out with a negative
result.
So I believe they exactly continue to make the same lenses as under Zeiss brand
name but mark them Apogon. As all patents are expired, they of course can just
continue to make the lenses.

Emmanuel,
Great news, though its sad we no longer get Zeiss glass with the Rolleis. What
happened that Zeiss is so completely out of the picture?
Very much hoping to buy a Rollei FW some day but too many other needed
purchases for a while due to the move to Rolleiland. Might settle for a
classic used Rolleiwide with the Distagon.
Definitely in the market for a Dual 66 P projector without lens soon. I sold my
110 Volt P11 in the US, but kept my three lenses (110, 150, 250mm).

Good news from DHW Fototechnik
Their web site is now active,

Hence, they continue to produce the HY-6
Die HY6 lebt!

And the new standard lens AFD Apogon 2,8/80mm HFT PQS, although very
similar in design to the carl Zeiss Planar 2.8-80 (a 7/5 design), is
probably a
different lens (slightly different focal length, tiny differences in
the lens layout, visible differences in the published MTF curves)
http://www.dhw-fototechnik.de/mittelformat-objektive/afd-objektive/afd-apogon-28-80-pqs.html
to be compared with the classical Zeiss-for-Hasselblad planar 2.8-80 CFE
