Description from the seller

The camera in the picture is a Rollei 35, a viewfinder camera (in reality a “rangefinder” or Guess-Finder) - a compact camera for 35mm film, known for its small size and high build quality.
Main features
Design: It was first introduced at Photokina in 1966 and for a certain period was the smallest 35mm full-frame camera in the world. It has a metal body and a retractable lens.
Lens: The original model, as shown in the picture, features a Carl Zeiss Tessar 40mm f/3.5 lens, known for its sharpness. Focusing is manual by estimating the distance to the subject.
Controls: The front dials control the aperture, shutter speed, and the film’s ISO sensitivity (ASA/DIN).
Light meter: The camera has a light meter linked to a CdS cell (cadmium sulfide) and measures light through a separate “eye” at the top left (from the front view of the camera). Exposure is set manually by aligning the indicators visible on the top dial.
Handling: To use the camera, the lens must be pulled out and locked by turning it clockwise. To retract it, the shutter must first be cocked and the film advanced.
