The first difference for practical purposes is that the Distagon 4/50 FLE for Rollei 6000 cameras and Hasselblad has two focusing rings and the FW only one focusing ring, two focusing rings make the lens operation more complex, it happens because the Floating Lens Elments works to improve the lens performance for short focusing distances and it needs to be focused separately; the FW Schneider Super Angulon lens is a very modern design, it is distortion free for almost any practical purpose and is very well corrected for optical aberrations even for the short focusing distances, I don't think you could find a significant difference about quality in the real life. Anyway, as Peter wrote, your eyes will remain the judge. Carlos PS: Some lenses like those for the Mamiya RF are too sharp for my taste, they can sometimes produce too hard images for B&W specially. --- Rollei List - Post to rollei_list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx - Subscribe at rollei_list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'subscribe' in the subject field OR by logging into www.freelists.org - Unsubscribe at rollei_list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the subject field OR by logging into www.freelists.org - Online, searchable archives are available at //www.freelists.org/archives/rollei_list
