Rollei 35

An amazingly small compact 35mm film camera - about 9.5cm in length. This example was made in 1973-74 and is in really lovely condition.

 

Queen Elizabeth II used this same camera, except hers was a gold edition!

 

I read that these little mechanical marvels have over 520 parts to them!

 

There is no focus through the viewfinder or lens and focus is achieved by setting a distance on the lens or by zone focusing, something I'm not familiar with so should be interesting!
