I have that lense, and mine was made in 1982. I do not believe the optical formula has changed during this time. Hasselblad, in 1990, added some electrical contacts so the body could read the f-stop, but that's the only change that has been made to the Hasselblad version of this lense since inception as far as I know. If you can find out differently, please let me know, but my references say no. I do not know when it has become adapted to the Rollei, but as I said, it's the same glass. > The current 110/2 is -- can someone else jump in here? -- just a very few > years old.
