Rollei SL 2000 F 35mm SLR in fair physical condition and not tested for functional condition.
Description from the seller
Camera is sold as is, NOT TESTED. No lens and no dark-slides.
The SL2000F is a 35 mm SLR camera, introduced by Rollei in February 1981 in Europe, and later in the rest of the world. It was first introduced as the Rollei SL 2000 at the 1976 Photokina.
The camera has an outward resemblance to a typical medium format SLR camera of the same era. Its innovations included a dual viewfinder for eye-level or waist-level use, and an integral motor drive. Regarding the "very unusual shape and feel" of a camera primarily for eye-level use, Bob Schwalberg of Popular Photography at the time pointed out that the advertised pistol grip only was useful for horizontal compositions, and that the Rollei designers should have "made a more detailed study of normal human dexterity before finalizing the SL 2000 F architecture.
The camera has a focal-plane shutter with speeds 16 seconds to 1/1000 second. Flash synchronisation is at 1/100 second. It has aperture-priority automatic exposure, with ±2 stops of exposure compensation. The viewfinder display includes both the selected aperture and shutter speed, and over/under-exposure warnings.
A range of Zeiss lenses, from 16 mm to 200 mm conventional lenses, and 500 and 1000 mm mirror lenses, was made for the camera with Rollei-HFT coating (itself licenced from Zeiss), and also a range of Rollei's own, somewhat cheaper Rolleinar lenses.
