AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller


Rolleiflex SL35 SLR camera body from the 1970s.
This was Rollei's first 35mm SLR, featuring a compact, fully mechanical shutter and interchangeable QBM bayonet mount. This particular model is a later version, 'Made by Rollei Singapore,' and is compatible with the well-known Carl Zeiss and Rolleinar QBM lenses.

Technical data

Type: 35mm SLR for small-format film (24×36mm)

Brand / model: Rolleiflex SL35

Production: circa the 1970s, Rollei Singapore

Lens mount: Rollei QBM bayonet

Sluiter: mechanical slit shutter, B – 1/1000s

Light measurement: TTL (through the lens), power via button cell (not included).


Condition

Appearance: good used condition with normal signs of use for its age.
Some scratches and some wear on the silver top plate and around the bayonet; see photos.

Viewfinder: image usable; some dust/light residue on the mirror/viewfinder as is usual with this type.

Sluiter: operates on all settings; timings are not professionally measured but sound logical by ear.

Film transport and rewinding are functioning as they should.

Light meter: works – after installing a battery, the needle responds to light and aperture/shutter speed. Not professionally calibrated for accuracy.

Film camera: the interior and shutter curtains look neat (see photos).

Sold without an objective, only the body.

Particulars

Nice basic body for a set with Zeiss Planar, Ultron, or Rolleinar QBM lenses.

Interesting collectible item for enthusiasts of Rollei 35mm systems.
