AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Rollei 35 S in good condition, with normal signs of use on the body. Please note: A circular haze is visible beneath the lens glass, around the outer edge. There is also a circular haze in the viewfinder (see photos). Otherwise, the camera is fully functional, including the light meter.

The Rollei 35 S is one of the most iconic and beloved 35mm compact cameras ever made. It is an improved version of the original Rollei 35, equipped with the high-quality Carl Zeiss Sonnar 40mm f/2.8 lens—known for its excellent sharpness, beautiful microcontrast, and distinctive rendering. Thanks to its robust metal body and clever, compact design, the 35 S became a favorite among travelers, street photographers, and collectors.

This model remains an important piece of photographic history because, despite its incredibly small size (97 x 32 x 60 mm and just 370 grams), it uses full-frame 35mm film and delivers performance comparable to that of larger cameras. Its unique design, with a retractable lens, bottom-mounted film advance, and distinctive controls, makes it a true classic.
