I am unaware of ANY "HFT" lenses made by CZ at
Oberkochen, and Zeiss literature denies this
rather strongly. HFT was a proprietary trademark
of Rollei and was not a Zeiss mark, so they would
have had no right to use it. The serial numbers
on HFT lenses are not in the Carl Zeiss lens
sequence: they are in a unique-to-Rollei sequence.
The Zeiss folks have done extensive research in
this, and absolutely no evidence has ever been
found that any HFT lenses were produced by Carl
Zeiss at Oberkochen on a series basis.
