AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A legendary Carl Zeiss Distagon 4/50 mm PQ lens with FLE (Floating Lens Elements) and Rollei HFT coating, specially designed for the Rolleiflex System 6000 series. On the 6x6 medium-format system, this 50mm lens functions as a powerful wide-angle lens (equivalent to approx. 28mm on 35mm film).
The lens is in exceptionally beautiful and clean condition: the glass is completely free of fungus, haze, or scratches. This high-quality optical piece comes with its original silver Rollei case, which is also in beautiful condition. An absolute top opportunity for both the professional photographer and the discerning collector.
The Special Feature: The FLE (Floating Lens Element) System
The key advantage of this particular version is the FLE (Floating Lens Element) system. With wide-angle lenses, optical quality and sharpness often deteriorate significantly when focusing at close range.Manual adjustment ring: This lens features an additional, independently adjustable FLE ring with distance markings (visible with the yellow/red indicators).Optimal edge-to-edge sharpness: By manually setting the FLE ring to the desired working distance, the internal lens elements shift to fully correct optical aberrations and spherical errors.
Exceptional performance: This results in fabulous, razor-sharp image quality from corner to corner, even for macro and close-up photography.
Features & Specifications
Brand: Carl Zeiss / Rollei
Model: Distagon 4/50 mm FLEType: PQ (Professional Quality) – equipped with an electronically controlled leaf shutter
Lens mount: Rollei System 6000 (Rolleiflex 6006, 6008, 6003, etc.)
Angle of view: Wide-angle perspective (equivalent to ~28mm on full frame)
Coating: Exclusive HFT (High Fidelity Transfer) multi-coating for superior contrast and minimal lens flare
Serial number: 8813801 (matching the original case!)
Condition
Optical (Beautiful condition): The glass is completely clear and clean. There is no fungus, no haze, and no scratches.
The HFT coating is in perfect condition. As is inevitable with lenses of this age, a microscopic speck of dust may be present upon very close inspection; this of course has no effect whatsoever on image quality.
Mechanical & Shutter: The focus ring turns smoothly and evenly. The aperture ring clicks positively into place. The FLE correction ring works as it should. The built-in leaf shutter has been tested and sounds correct at all speeds.
Cosmetic: Very attractive, well-cared-for condition with minimal signs of use (see photos for exact details).
Original Case: Comes with the original silver Rollei System 6000 case, which is in beautiful condition, complete with front and rear lens caps.
