They did for sure with the Rollei 35 (Rollei Singapore). Not sure about the SLRs and I think the TLRs ware always made in Germany.
Vas is los? I've owned two Rolleiflexes -- one I got in 1956 and the other one (60 years old) I just recently got. I have always kept an eye on the 'Flexes and do not believe any were made anywhere but Germany. I do have a Yashicamat that some people say has lenses made in Germany and some say they were German designs made in Japan.
Some of us always think of Rolleiflex cameras as being TLRs and MF SLRs, I'd forgotten that the 35mm SLRs also had the "flex" part added to the name and wasn't there a 126 Rolleiflex as well ?

All of the TLR's are made in Germany. The little Rollei 35's are mostly made in Singapore, but originally in Germany. I have several SL35's, which are branded Rolleiflex, and one is made in Germany, the others in Singapore.
Many of the lenses that fitted the later Rollei 35mm SLR's were made in Japan by Mamiya, but used Voigtlander names as Rollei and Voigtlander had joined forces by then.
I have never known what the connection between Rolleiflex and Honeywell was. Some of the prisms say Honeywell... which is USA I think. (?)

I used to knew Terry Donovan the fashion photographer who used to say that all his Rolleiflexes given a coat of grey paint at the beginning of each September would gang up and invade Poland !Vas is los?
