Carlos,
the Rolleinar lenses from Mamiya are indeed quite decent.
However, I found it (and still do it) very
strange that allthough Rollei had optical
production capacity in Singapore and licenses
from Zeiss for Planar 1,8 and 1,4 50, Distagon 28
and 35, Tessar 135, Sonnar 135, Tessar 200,
Rollei was not able to supply a product line for
the launch of the SL 35 E at that time. Instead
going to Mamiya and not using their own
production in Singapore. |-O Some time later to
the lauch of the SL 35 E, the launched the SL2000
(assembled in Braunschweig with parts coming from
Singapore) and after that they offered again the
Zeiss lenses. So they hat now two lens programmes.......
Already at that time I found that very stupid.
What a waist of effort an money.
They should have taken the money they gave to
Mamiya to extend production and quality of Zeiss
lenses in Singapore. That this was not done seems
to be a prove for Rollei internal management problems.
Anyway, have fun with your new 200 mm Rolleinar,
it is a decent lens which is astonishing
lightweighted compared to the 200 m Tessar.

A few months ago I bought a Rolleiflex SL35 M camera
without lens, it was cheap because the film advance
mechanism was jammed, however the camera looked and
looks in very good condition, even the lightmeter
works. An old retired technician in my city fixed the
problem (I think) after two attempts because the
mechanism jammed again after the first time he fixed
it; I have tried the film advance a lot of times and
it works fine apparently.
Now I am waiting for my first lens for the camera -a
Rolleinar MC 3,5/200- that I bought from the same
seller that sold me the camera, it costed about $35.
I found interesting the Prochnow's comment about the
Rolleinar lenses for the SL 35 cameras in the Rollei
Report IV, he says they were manufactured primarily by
Mamiya and also by Rollei according Mamiya design,
adding Prochnow these objectives were falsely put as
secondaries only because of their price; they were
designed using the newest computer computations and
built as compact as the Zeiss lenses and multicoated,
the German optical industry couldn't provide a
complete lenses line like the Rolleinar for the the SL
35 (that included i.e. zooms).
This is the lens I bought:
