Marc:
With due respect, I don't think to discuss this issue up to
you could show me a clear sample with SN about a Carl Zeiss Oberkochen
lens made for Rollei with "T*" engraved on the lens indicating
multicoating.
A few seconds ago I verified in the Rollei Report II (SL 66), Report
IV (SL 35/2000/3000) and Rollei Report V (SLX-6000) that the lenses
made by Carl Zeiss for all these cameras at Oberkochen were engraved
"HFT", and they are not only words, there are photographs about them
as the photographs shown in the sites I quoted previously.-
