Rolleiflex 3,5F – tested and working.
Description from the seller
The Rolleiflex 3.5F is a high-end 6x6 medium format twin-lens camera, considered one of the most iconic and refined models in analog photography. Designed to offer exceptional image quality, mechanical reliability, and precise manual control, it has been used by professional photographers, portrait photographers, and photojournalists.
The TLR (Twin Lens Reflex) system uses two coordinated lenses: one for viewing, through a sharp and bright waist-level viewfinder, and one dedicated to shooting. The 3.5F is equipped with a high-quality fixed lens with a maximum aperture of f/3.5, known for its sharpness, contrast, and smooth, creamy background blur.
The central shutter allows flash sync at all speeds, while the shutter speed and aperture controls are arranged on side dials, allowing for quick and intuitive adjustments. The camera also integrates an exposure meter (depending on the version), designed to facilitate light measurement while maintaining a manual approach.
Built with premium materials, it features an elegant, symmetrical, and compact design, with a solid and precise feel. Despite its classic appearance, it offers technical performance that is still impressive today.
The Rolleiflex 3.5F is often considered an ideal tool for portraiture, documentation, and fine art photography, thanks to its combination of optical performance, square format, and thoughtful workflow. It remains a highly sought-after object among collectors and photographers who appreciate the quality and experience of high-end analog photography.
slow timing to check, dust in the lenses, good general cleanliness, slow return button
