The Rolleiflex SL35 manufactured by Rollei introduced yet another bayonet mount when launched in 1970. This bayonet mount was used on all Rollei's 35mm SLRs, and on most of the Voigtländer VSL models.

Zeiss

The lenses produced in that mount were mostly from Carl Zeiss and were of high quality. Some of these lenses had become their career as Contarex lenses, and most of the range was to be recycled as Yashica / Contax lenses. Some of the Zeiss lenses were sold under the Voigtländer name to go with the VSL range.

Adapters

There was a 42mm screw mount adapter, to mount 42mm screw lenses. It also existed in an automatic variant, which transmits the diaphragm coupling.

There was also a 39mm screw mount adapter, to mount Leica screw lenses. It did not preserve infinity and is only useful for macro work.
