Additional information:

The Carl Zeiss Distagon 1.4/35 HFT is an extremely fast 35mm wide-angle lens for the Rollei SL35 system (QBM bayonet).

The lens has an unusual three-blade diaphragm (see Fig. 4), which creates triangles in the highlights of the bokeh.

The lens design was later adopted unchanged for the Carl Zeiss Distagon T* 35mm f/1.4 with C/Y bayonet – only the body with the aperture, the multi-layer coating, and the bayonet had chanched.
