Rebirth of a Timeless Classic?
In 1967, the iconic 'Rollei 35' was born, leaving a mark in the history of cameras. Despite its compact size, the 'Rollei 35' boasted exceptional performance and a unique design, and its charm remains undiminished even today. As digitalization rapidly progresses, making many film cameras a thing of the past, the 'Rollei 35' still commands high prices in the used market.
Now, this classic camera is on the verge of making a comeback.
A Camera with Timeless Appeal
The 'Rollei 35' is renowned for its high-performance Carl Zeiss lenses, providing sharp images in every detail. Due to the absence of a rangefinder in the viewfinder, photographers rely on estimating the distance to the subject, adding a unique charm to the experience.
This unique technical challenge captivates many professionals and film camera enthusiasts.
