I saw some users using Carl Zeiss for Rollei lenses here in this forum.
My main question is if exists some adaptors with AF confirmer chip. I did a search on ebay and I only found one without chip.
(Maybe I'm looking bad...)
Other question is about these lenses quality. It is so different comparing with C/Y ones? |

I haven't seen any - the stop-down spring is located right where AF contacts are on the camera. The solution would be manufactuing an adaptor that turns the lens about 45 degrees, but so far I haven't seen any.

But it would become soon obsolete, as all the newer DSLR cameras now have LiveView. So I don't think that adapter producers would consider it now. Two years ago would have been different.

i got a 1,7/50 planar and a 2,8/35 distagon in qbm mount and would also be interessted in an adapter with af confirmation to convert it to canon ef!
i think the idea to turn the lens around 45° is a good one. perhaps someone can make some of these adapters. i would definitely buy one!

Am liking the idea of the 45 degree shuffle though

My main collection was Rollei-QB but there is only one adapter design and that design doesn't allow mounting AFC chip on the adapter. I had a project but couldn't get help from the ones that I trusted. Once we discussed designing a new adapter with Alex but I guess he doesn't feel that there is enough demand to make the investment feasible. So there is no such adapter that allows mounting the chip on the market...

If someone do that I'll buy it for sure.
Some of these lenses are cheaper than C/Y ones. And for me it would be important.
I think they don't loose to C/Y "sisters" in quality, or am I wrong? |

They are close. However, at least some of them *are* different designs from their Zeiss counterparts. Here are a few links with optical diagrams for Rollei vs. Zeiss lenses:

I have been discussing this rotated Rollei adapter with Yalcin (a former Rollei junkie  ), but the thing is that I have to make a run of at least 50 pieces.
Prices will be approx EUR28~33 each ... and at this price price i still do not make a lot of profit, and still need to invest a lot of money. I would only consider making these adapters if i have 10+ firm orders.
Therefore, i think it is cheaper to semi-convert the lens using a low-cost Rollei-to EOS mount, and then taking of the release part (which sits in the way of the chip), and then glueing the chip onto the lens.
