Yes, the Rolleinar 135/2.8 is the Mamiya-Sekor sx 135/2.8 design,
however multi-coated. Several Rolleinar/Mamiya lenses were made by
Rollei Optical Co. at Singapore up to 1981 according an agreement
Rollei-Mamiya. Claus Prochnow (the Rollei Report books author and
Rollei engineer for 37 years) wrote me in 2007:
" Hello Carlos
The Mamiya lenses are manufactured first in Japan, later in Singapore by
Rollei. It was sheaper than in Japan.
Kind regards
Claus"
I also have the Voigtländer Color Ultron AR 1.4/55mm lens,
multicoated, this is the Rolleinar/Mamiya 1.4/55 MC labeled Color
Ultron for the Voigtländer cameras made by Rollei The Mamiya,
Rolleinar and Color Ultron versions are a copy from the CZ Planar
1.4/55mm made for the Contarex.
