It is a really nice lens . I have one which is absolutly mint ( probably unused) but with haze. It would deserve a internal cleaning.
I don't find any video or pictures how to dismantle it.
Does anybody have infos or experience ?

It is relatively easy. There is nothing to be extremely afraid of.

This link contains a guide. Sadly, pictures are missing since the forum's storage crash.

My Planar has "Made by Rollei" on the front ring, and "Lens made in West Germany" on the mount. It was on a Rolleflex SL35 that was made in Singapore. I have seen lenses the same as mine but with "Lens made in Singapore" on the mount. I think some early ones were made in Germany for a while when camera production had moved to Singapore.

More or less YES! Even the Voigtländer Color-Ultron 50/1.8 is the "same" lens (also available in M42), just differently marked.

that's interesting... "Made by Rollei" and "Made in West Germany".. I know this from the later 135mm HFT Sonnar. But I hadn't seen a early Planar like this.
