Rolleiflex SL2000F lenses

[aniramca]

I heard that Rolleiflex SL2000F camera is notorious of being a difficult and troublesome camera (although a few praised this camera as the best interchangeable 35mm camera in a boxy, Hassy format).

I want to talk about the lens and lens mount of this camera. Anyone knows what is the lens mount and lens register for this camera? Does a lens adapter exist for using the lenses in a Nikon DSLR cameras?

The Rolleiflex SL2000F that I am talking about comes with
Rolleinar 28mm f/2.8
Planar 50mm f/1.8, and
Rolleinar 135mm f/2.8

Who made Rolleinar lenses? Are they made by Carl Zeiss, Leica or their own Rolleiflex camera lenses?

Thanks for the info, as I have very little info in the internet on this topic. Cameraquest has some info about the camera, but it does not help me with adapting this lens for a Nikon DSLR

Based on this thread (http://forum.mflenses.com/rolleinar-mc-2-8-105-qbm-t19869.html) it would appear as though the lenses are well regarded, but the flange focal distance is too long for a Nikon adaption if infinity focus is required.

So, is this a bayonet mount with 44.7mm register distance (similar to Voitglander lenses). I thought it has larger register distance, as the camera looks so much larger than the regular 35mm SLR.

Ouch... just too short for a Nikon DSLR. Even for Canon with register distance of 44.0m, there is not much thickness for the adapter to accommodate a 44.7mm register distance of a Rolleinar lenses.

So, I would assume that this would be good lenses to be used with 4/3 cameras (38.58mm registered distance), or micro 4/3 (20mm register distance)

The photos on the link that you provided were excellent, and they must be good lenses. I am surprised to hear that it was actually made by Mamiya, not a Zeiss glass.

Thanks for the info!

Older versions were produces by Rollei under Zeiss license.
Later Mamiya (and some others) also manufactured some Rollei lenses, AFAIK.
