Hate to say it, but there is no confusion on my part about this gear.
I've had too many problems with the early series. I was told by
Rollei USA during the time of their use that they were not considered
professional quality. Yep, that right. I asked them what was the
identifying marker that made a lens 'professional' or not
professional. The answer was low rate of repair. Something that the
SLX and 6006 line failed miserably at.
I have in my bathroom a little box frame with 3 pieces from a 6006,
which I was told 'was' professionally rated because it never wore
out. I have them, with the technicians notes, framed as a reminder of
what parts look like that never wear out.
I've been around the block with Rollei. In spite of these issues, I
still think it's the best camera I've used to date.

You seem to be confusing the reliability of the lenses vs problems with using them on newer cameras.

I thought it was the other way around... Newer lenses not on older cameras.

I meant the older non PQ and PQS lenses. What is the term for these lenses??

If I mount a HFT lens on a 6006 it will cause problems??
HFT is the lens coating. It has nothing to do with the mechanical/electrical/camera compatibility lens design.
