Hi Uwe,

interested in one you can have it for less than ½ the price of the FLE model

Hi Carlos
and thanks for the superb answer!
Sooo, where do I get an affordable 4/40 FLE for my SL66 or 6008AF? Lots of

As we commented two days ago talking about Rolleiwide, FW and Carl
Zeiss CF/CFI 4/50mm FLE lens, Floating Lens Elements help to improve
the general lens performance for the close focusing range (for WA
lenses specially); some MF lenses like the mentioned Distagon 4/50 FLE
or the Distagon 4/40 FLE (Hasselblad, SL66 HFT and 6xxx HFT PQ
versions) have a secondary focusing ring to set the FLE focusing
distance manually according the main lens focusing setting distance,
the main focusing knob for the SL66 is in the camera body and then
only the FLE secondary focusing ring is in the lens barrel. F.E. Carl
Zeiss says about the 4/40 FLE lens:
"... IN SPITE of the wide aperture, wide angle of view and long focal
length of this lens, distortion has been kept at a remarkably low
level - making this lens suitable even for critical architectural
photography. The floating lens element (FLE) design enhances image
quality at close range. The two floating front elements are moved by
means of a secondary focusing ring with three click stops: infinity -
2m, 2m - 0.9m and 0.9m - 0.5m.. This lens is ideal for interior or
architectural photography. Its broad angle of view are especially good
for these kind of application. Though, have to be careful on its
slight exaggerated perspective. The floating elements design opens up
more photographic oppurtunities in close up photography without the
compromised decrease in image quality."
Aspherical and Floating lens elements made possible that zoom lenses
replaced prime lenses as standard for digial and 35mm film cameras,
floating elements automatically work in these lenses as John wrote.
Some prime lenses like the Nikon AF DC-NIKKOR 135mm f/2 D has a
secondary ring for floating elements to control the background
softness for portraits and similar shots.
