Rolleigon <-> Planar

[laurent1]

I have a Rolleiflex 6002 with a rolleigon 80 / 2.8 lens.

Is the Zeiss 80 mm planar much better or should I keep the Rolleigon ?

Is there any test regarding both lenses somewhere ? Any experience ?

Thanks

Laurent

Hi, I do have a complete set of Rolleigon - 50mmm, 80mm and 150mm. They are all high contrast compare to Zeiss lenses. However, I don't see any different on sharpness or resolution etc.

I have the (Tokina-made) Rolleigon and the older Zeiss 40mm HFT. Build quality on the Rolleigon is equal to the Zeiss, if not better in terms of the crispness of the engravings. It's a solid, heavy lens. Sharpness and bokeh are excellent--no need in my opinion to trade up to the Planar for those criteria. Next to my Zeiss lens, I would say the Rolleigon has a cooler color-cast, but nothing radically different.

Beautiful shots Stephen, but now I want that 40mm. Ouch!

Are all the Rolleigon lens 50/80/150mm made by Tokina or Mamiya?

The Rollei<b>GON</b> lenses for the 6000-series were made by Tokina.<P>

 

Rollei<b>NAR</b> lenses, for Rollei's 35mm cameras, were originally outsourced to Mamiya, and then to a number of different manufacturers, including Tokina. <P>
