Legendary Rollei 35

Thank you everyone for visiting, commenting and fav'ing - very much appreciated!

 

This is a realistic/soft HDR shot of my Rollei 35 SE with the exceptional Zeiss Sonnar 2.8/40mm lens. I used it for almost 2 decades. I love tiny cameras. It measures only 95mm across (less than 4 inches). I still have it, although I have not used it for a long time. You see many scratches and dents - I dropped this camera many times, never had any issues. Battery optional!

 

Have you used the Rollei 35? Please share your story if you have.

 

The Rollei 35 was revolutionary - it was the smallest full frame 35 in the world. Over two million Rollei 35 cameras have been sold since 1970. The initial production was in Germany using Zeiss lenses. Later the production shifted to Singapore, with lenses made by Rollei under license from Zeiss. The camera is still manufactured today in small batches by DHW Fototechnik.
