MiNT has released sample photos taken with the eagerly awaited 'Rollei 35 AF'. The 'Rollei 35 AF' is a new model equipped with autofocus, a feature added to the once-popular 'Rollei 35'.

User-Friendly Autofocus Feature of the Legendary 'Rollei 35 AF'

The 'Rollei 35 AF' inherits the compact design and portability of the 'Rollei 35'. It uses 35mm film and is equipped with a German-made '50mm f/2.8 Sonnar' lens that captures subjects with clarity. The autofocus and auto-exposure features have improved the focusing issues that were a challenge with the 'Rollei 35'.

The released sample photos are characterized by their remarkable clarity and natural color tones. Here are some specific features.
