Vintage Refurbished [ℹ]

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 show some light wear and vary slightly from what is pictured.
