Vintage Refurbished [ℹ]
Rollei 35 Compact 35mm Film Camera (Early Production Model)
The Rollei 35 is a premium 35mm scale focus camera, originally built by Rollei-Werke Franke & Heidecke in Germany. When the Rollei 35 was first released in November 1966, it was the smallest full-frame 35mm camera ever made, a claim that remained true for years even after it was discontinued. The entire Rollei 35 series was very popular due to its miniature form and ability to produce high quality photographs.
This camera is tested and working, and a full CLA has been performed. Due to the refurbished nature of the product, the item you receive may vary slightly from what is pictured. Please note that the camera you receive may show some signs of light wear, including minor scratching and small corner dings.
This is an early production Rollei 35 and differs from later “standard” models in several ways. The overall fit and finish of the mechanism is of higher quality, with all-metal gearing instead of the mixed metal and plastic components found in later production. Additionally, the rewind mechanism on this early version is fully metal, while the standard models incorporated both metal and plastic parts.
Every vintage item we restore has a story, and we take great care to preserve its authenticity. Our trained technicians carefully inspect, clean and service each piece, retaining original components whenever possible. When necessary, we incorporate high-quality replacement parts to ensure reliability and longevity. The result is a thoughtfully restored vintage item that’s fully functional and ready for a second life.
Please note vintage items will show signs of previous use. While we carefully restore each piece to ensure full functionality, cosmetic wear and slight variations from the product photos should be expected.
