Thank you very much Dirk, I bought the SL 35 M
thinking to use Zeiss lenses, but I couldn't lose this
Rolleinar, anyway the next lens will be CZ.
I think one of the problems (and errors) was Rollei
wished to expand their production quick too much and
then there was no time to develop new lenses for the
SL 35 line, CZ only was not enough; it was quicker to
buy lenses and lens designs from other manufacturers
to make some of them in Singapore.

All the best
Carlos
