I think this is the last of the PQS barrel/motor combinations.
I don't think we'll ever see any R&D, on the 120 line, from Rollei
again. But then again, stranger things have happened, such as the TLR
Wide and Tele.

None of the fst lenses are available PQS because the big shutter has too high a mass to go that fast. Even to go to 1/1000 on the smaller shutter requires a substantial increase in current and lightweight composite shutter blades. Frank

Hi Slobodan,
I shoot handheld too. On the other hand, 15 years with the Bronica I never missed having 1/1000 shutter speed, 1/500 was always enough (when the sun is that bright - like on a trip to Egypt - I had a colour temp filter mounted or an ND). Where I live I'm lucky to be able to use 1/250 ;-).
Also, I had thought that the 80/2 was available in PQS shutter. No? I know the Tele-Xenar 150/4 was, because I had hoped to find a PQS but ended up with a PQ. I haven't regretted it.
Cheers, Thor

Since I use my Rollei handheld, the PQS functionof a higher shutterspeed out-weights the extra stop. Now if they madetheir fastestlenses with the PQS motors, we'd have a differentstory.
