Any difference between Contax and Rollei lenses?

Hello.

I have a complete set of Zeiss lenses for Rollei together with a 3003 .

I have the opportunity to acquire a similar set for Contax (MM lenses) together

with an AX body.Although some of the lenses are specific there is a great

intersection between the two sets.I was wondering if the lenses are identical

or have different formula.For example the 85mm/1.4 or 35mm/1.4.Thank you

Hi,

 

I am a Contax user and my understanding is that the Rollei SL Zeiss lenses are optically identical to the Contax Zeiss C/Y lenses. The only difference might be in coatings. The Contax have Zeiss T* whilst the Rollei have Rollei HFT coatings.

 

The chances of you seeing any difference in your photos are just about nil.

 

cheers Steve.
