Rollei QBM mount lenses can be used on a digital camera using an adapter. Adapters for Rollei QBM mount lenses exist for Canon EOS, Sony NEX (E mount), micro 4/3 (MFT), Fuji-X and Canon EOS M. Not all camera to lens combination allows focusing to infinity. As with all vintage lenses used on a digital camera using an adapter, focusing and aperture setting has to be set manually.

QBM stands for Quick Bayonet Mount. The mount was used on most Rollei and Voigtländer 35mm cameras. The main manufacturers selling QBM lenses were Schneider, Carl Zeiss, Rollei and Voigtländer. Most Voigtländer and Rollei lenses were actually manufactured directly by Carl Zeiss and are of good quality.

Early QBM lenses have an all metal finish while later models have a plastic focusing ring.

There are a lot of adapters available – below you find a link to each camera brand:

Rollei QBM mount to Micro-4/3 adapter

Connectivity to micro-four-thirds (mft) is unproblematic. The adapter is always quiet large which will increase the “size” of your lens. Focusing to infinity works fine. The only major drawback is that the images are cropped compared a full frame SLR. Even a 35 or 50 prime lens will feel like a telephoto. You can find the adapters here:
