Yes, the brochure says "...Aufgrund des großen Durchmessers des Tele-Xenars, ist das Filterbajonett in der Größe IV ausgeführt..." and it's true, however I would like to see the results using the Rolleinar for 1.35m focusing distance designed for the Sonnar on the Tele-Xenar and for the 1.5m normal focusing distance; they wished a Tele different completely with respect to the old Tele and they accepted the B IV when they selected the Tele-Xenar to replace the Sonnar, it was part of the difference to avoid confusions with the old Tele, and then there is someting else than the Tele Xenar size behind the B IV, it was explained in the former Rollei web site, in the FAQ page, when the FT project was delayed.- All the best Carlos --- J Patric Dahlén <jenspatricdahlen@xxxxxxxxxxx> escribió: > The brochure says that it has bayonet IV because of > the larger diameter of > the Tele-Xenar.
