[rollei_list] Re: 'Old' Zeiss glass question... HFT and T*

Marc, I quoted Prochnow regarding the Rollei 35 S
provided with Sonnar lens Rollei HFT coated , I'll see
 afterwards in my Prochnow's book dedicated to the
Rollei 35 (classic) camera history if it has specific
references about the Rolleiflex SL 35 lenses.
Anyway, I have no doubt that Rollei manufactured
lenses with Rollei HFT multicoating for the SL 35 and
the Voigtländer VSL because I had in my hands a Planar
1.8/50 HFT made by Rollei in Singapore.

Here is a list of three lenses for Rollei 35 SL and
Voigtländer cameras provided with serial numbers
manufactured by Rollei in Singapore:

Rollei-HFT 1100696 Made by Rollei Planar 1,8/50 Made
by Rollei Singapore 
Rollei-HFT 1168427 Made by Rollei Planar 1,8/50 Lens
made in Singapore 
Voigtländer COLOR-ULTRON 1,8/50 2413319 Lens made in
Singapore 

You can see now on eBay a Rolleiflex SL 35 provided
with a Planar Rollei HFT 1.8/50 made by Rollei in
Singapore:

or you can look for the item 7614062658.-

All the best
