The 35mm f2.8 Distagon for Rolleiflex 35mm SLRs had a slightly different optical design (top) than the Contax/Yashica version( bottom).

One of my favourite moderate wide angle lens. I use this whenever I only need a moderate wide angle coverage and want the best quality. I like the look if the very flat front element of this Rollei design compared to the bulging look of the C/Y version. Nevertheless I have used both and find them capable of producing images of very high quality and low distortion. Very good value for the performance. The compact size makes it very suitable for travel.
