1. Are ZEISS lenses for Hasselblad better than those for Rollei?
The lenses are basically the same. Both lens assortments are produced at the Carl Zeiss factory in Oberkochen, Germany following the same quality standards. Therefore, there is no difference in quality. The impression of differing quality could be based on the fact that more advanced optical calculations were first used in the Hasselblad program than in the Rollei program. Moreover, the Hasselblad program offers special ZEISS high-performance lenses such as Biogon 4.5/38, Distagon 4/40 IF, Planar 3.5/100, Sonnar 4/180, Superachromat 5.6/250 and Tele-Superachromat 5.6/350. There is no available equivalent for the Rollei progam.

2. Why is the new Hasselblad H 1 camera system not equipped with Carl Zeiss lenses?
For this special project Hasselblad needed a partner with a broader capacity than lens design and manufacturing and had to turn to Fuji for that reason.
