Thank You for sharing that link. For me the only 35mm SLR link to any Zeiss optics would be my Contax-Yashica 35mmSLR system.
Otherwise I 'm also shooting with my Contax645 system too.
Too bad the Contax-Yashica product line is not represented as it was once on the Zeiss CLN magazine and website's archive.
Ferdi is right. I reproduce this article at the end of one
within their lenses line.
marked this feature with big letters or icons. Rollei created the term
too.(a CZ T* process adapted for a larger lenses production).

I knew up to a certain point of this joint venture, as my main source of
information came from Marc James Small "Zeiss Compendium" .
I also learn a tad more form Jimmy Koh of Koh's Camera. He was one of the
many Singaporean technican that was involved in the Singapore factory.
Now that you mention the source of the Zeiss Camera Lens News Magazine, I
would be interested in getting a PDF version of that monthly News magazine.
When was this article published and in which month 7 year?
Wasn't most of the technology purchased by Samsung in the mid to late
1990's? I recall there was an infusion or outright purchase of Rollei &
Schneider for their technology....
Had the Rolleiflex 35mm SLR been more reliable and available spare parts
were available, i would had purchase it. I been using my Contax 159MM and
Aria with my assortment of Zeiss optics by Contax-Yashica. 28.2.8MM, 35mm1.4
AE, 35mm2.8 AE, 50mmF1.7AE, 50mmF1.4MM, 85mmF2.8AE, 85mmF1.4AE< and
135mmF2.8MM. I have the 35-70mmF3.4MM zoom lens.....

Rollei and Carl Zeiss had a joint-venture to develop
the Rollei HFT lens multicoating process in the '70s and according an
official CZ article in the Camera Lens News Magazine, Rollei HFT and
Carl Zeiss T* multicoating are the same for practical purposes, HFT
was prepared to be produced quicker than T* due to the larger lens
production at the Rollei Optical Co in Singapore, CZ lenses
manufactured by Carl Zeiss for Rollei also used the "HFT" name for the
lens multicoating process despite CZ used its own T* process, to keep
the same name for the Rollei lenses. Rollei Optical Co had a very
modern factory in Singapore and they used the Schott glass like CZ and
Schneider for the lenses produced there; in fact, Rollei Optical
manufactured some lenses for Schneider. There are no practical
differences for lenses produced in Germany and Rollei Singapore.
I also have some Rolleinar lenses made by Mamiya or under Mamiya
license for Rollei. Claus Prochnow thought these lenses were very
modern design by computer and as good as the CZ lenses in general
despite they were a cheaper lenses line. I have a Rolleinar MC
(Mamiya multicosted) 3,5/21mm WA lens, excellent, but too wide
sometimes;I also have the Rollenar MC (Mamiya) 2.8 135mm, a superb
lens and a Rolleinar 1,4/55 MC (Mamiya), a very good lens too. My
Rolleinar MC 3,5/200mm is an excellent Tele and the zoom Rolleinar MC
80-200mm (Tokina) is a good lens.
Thank you for your comment

Nice photos especially the color photos. I see the richness of the color and
the sharpness of the lens. Love the original box for the SL35E, you simply
don't see that too often nowadays.
Nowadays the Rolleiflex QBM optics tend to be in the price range as the
Contax Yashica offering. If are looking for additional lenses to add on, I
would recommend looking for the 35mmF2.8 and the 85mmF2.8. These two are
quite often available at decent prices.
The 25mmF2.8, 85mmF1.4 tend to be more pricy and harder to find. On the
Rangefinder Forum, there are several threads about these optics with images
highlighting its performance. Adapters for Canon EOS Digital SLR are
available too.

When my father liked photography in the '50s and '60s, he always had
in his photographic suitcase the Rolleiflex 2.8C for B&W shots and a
Voss Diax IIb or a Leica IIIc for color shots (BTW, sometimes he used
the Rolleiflex for color shots and the 35mm cameras for B&W, but it
was not the general rule). Last week-end I put in my bag a 3,5F for
B&W shots and the Rolleiflex SL35 E for color shots, it was the first
time I used the SL35 E and its Planar HFT 1,8/50 lens. Camera and lens
