List of lenses for Rolleiflex SLX/6000/Hy6 cameras explained

The Rolleiflex SLX, 6000 System, and Hy6 cameras are medium format and digital single-lens reflex cameras manufactured and marketed by Rollei starting from 1976, when the Rolleiflex SLX was released. Photographic lenses for these cameras share the same mechanical lens mount interface, but differences in camera body features and controls mean that some lenses are not compatible with some camera bodies.

Compatibility

The following lens types have been released:

• SLX (original): released with the SLX. These lenses were designed by Zeiss and manufactured by Zeiss or under license by Rollei; they are marked with a red ("high fidelity transfer") indicating lens multicoating. However, there are some exceptions, as the Variogon zooms were designed and manufactured by Schneider Kreuznach. In general, the SLX lenses use Rollei bayonet filters.
• Rolleigon: released with the 6006. These were a less-costly line of lenses which offer the same features and compatibility as the original SLX lenses. In general, the Rolleigon lenses use threaded filters.
• PQ: released with the 6008. These support aperture-priority and program autoexposure modes for camera bodies offering those features.
• EL: "economy line". These also were a less-costly line of lenses which offered the same features and compatibility as the PQ lenses, including aperture-priority and program autoexposure modes.
• PQS: released in 1990 shortly after the 6008. These extended the shortest shutter speed to  s, which draws more current from the camera body, breaking compatibility with older cameras.
• AF-PQ and AF-PQS: released with the 6008 AF, supporting autofocus functions.
• AFD-PQ and AFD-PQS: released with the Hy6, also supporting autofocus functions; the aperture selection control has been moved from the lens to the body, breaking compatibility with older bodies.
