These were made by Mamiya (they once made 35mm cameras too).
How do I know?
By once comparing data between the Rolleinar 14mm fisheye and the 
Mamiya 14mm fisheye....;-))

I recommend you hop over to the PhotoForum site, where you can find a 
large overview of mailinglists, including the Rollei list....see 
canned message below for an pointer & explanation:

Check my homepage for the link to the PhotoForum site, 
where you can find a large overview of photo related mailinglists:

http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/mainpage.htm

This PhotoForum site also offers a nifty 'mailto:' -form for direct 
subscription, and more important: with the same ease for 
unsubscribing....the fastest way to unsubscribe a dozen of lists 
shortly before going on holiday....any other method is tedious at 
best.
Store that URL, and you'll never be searching for either command or 
list-address related to any list....it's all on one page.

Further down my homepage you will also find links to general 
overviews of mailinglists (more than just photo-related).

Also on the above URL is a full list of photo related newsgroups 
on Usenet.
