Manufacturer description

Rolleigon lenses: the ideal starting point with the Rolleiflex 6002

As a result of collaboration with Carl Zeiss, the Rollei engineers have access to specialized know-how in the judgement of image quality. For this, the pre-eminent optical transfer function (OTF) method is used for complete representation of the accuracy of reproduction. Based on this knowledge and a new method of lens construction that allows extremely close manufacturing tolerances to be maintained, an exceptional range of standard lenses has been created for the Rolleiflex 6002 - the HFT Rolleigons f4/50 mm, f2.8/80 mm and f4/150 mm. Together with the 2x teleconverter, they provide the photographer with a range of focal lengths up to 300 mm. Close collaboration with a first-class partner promises the beginner a modern high-performance basic system with an excellent price/performance ratio.

Like all lenses included in the Rolleiflex 6006/6002 system, the Rolleigons are equipped with two high-performance linear motors, infinitely variable aperture control and electronically controlled leaf shutter. Besides these standard lenses, the Rolleiflex 6002 can also be fitted with all Zeiss and Schneider lenses of the Rolleiflex 6006 system.

Rolleigon f2.8/80 HFT: The normal medium-format focal length. A modern lens design with a fast f2.8 aperture, wide contrast range and exceptionally sharp image, which masters almost any photographic assignments. Also ideally suited for close-up work.
