According to :
http://www.taunusreiter.de/Cameras/Rollei_QBM_Schneider_dt.html
" The Rolleinar series was introduced as cheaper alternative to the Carl Zeiss/ Rollei HFT series. Most of the lenses were build at Mamiya in Japan and earned a good reputation; some were labelled as "Voigtländer AR" (this in difference to the Rollei HFT series above -- don't know what AR actually stood for). Most labeled "Made in Japan" (no Singapore made in this series) but for some reasons a few also had the "Made in Germany" (probably made before the bancrupty of Rollei in 1981) "

Some sample photos. I forced mount it onto my Olympus E330 and secure with a thick cloth band. It got stuck in the mount a few times. It is also very hard to get it in focus. I had to use live view and the 10x zoom. A little tiny turn of the focusing ring will get it off focus

I am waiting for a proper adaptor. The blur or out of focus area looks weird, as it had been shifted. What do you guys think ? _________________ Photos and Lenses Journal

Ok, the rare adaptor had arrived, Rollei to 4/3. I took it out for some testing yesterday night. As I read from here, since its maximum aperture is f1.4, why waste it on sunny day.
All shot at f1.4, though its bit soft.
1st initial shot to test its bokeh. Taken in a public bus.
Following shots taken yesterday night.

I sold it a time ago. I used my SL 35 E in the 90's with the planar 1,8/50. But looking to the past, I remember that the 1,4/55 had a good color rendering too.
