In 1972 Rollei had begun the production fever, Rollei Optical Co at
Singapore, Voigtländer Optical/Zeiss Ikon and Carl Zeiss Oberkochen
were not enough to provide the lenses for the Rollei 35 maintaining
low prices, Rollei thought about Schneider to increase the lenses
supplies for the camera and then appeared the Rollei 35 S-Xenar
(S-Xenar is engraved on the lens ring). According the specifications
and tolerances, lens and camera were identical regarding the Rollei 35
Tessar 3,5/40mm, the S-Xenar 3,5 /40 was a Tessar 3,5/40 copy.
Schneider could not satisfy Rollei necessities, the lenses deliveries
were irregular and only 30,000 were made from July 1972 to April
1973.-
