CARLOSIT IS NOT THE SAME LENS. The Rolleiflex TLR Planar is much smaller in both width and depth than was the prototype five-element lens for the 500C. Sauer stated that he had to design the Hasselblad lens from scratch. Zeiss didn't just pull lenses from the F&H runs and send them to Hasselblad: they developed an entirely new lens design based on a common formula.
