The Rollei 35 is a series of 35mm rangefinder cameras designed for Rollei by Heinz Waaske.  The Rollei 35 held the title of smallest full-frame 35mm camera in the world for some time. 

Please reference all the photos for condition. These cameras are difficult to find in this condition and this example is beautiful. I found just a hint of brassing on the corners of the rewind lever but the camera is otherwise free from marks or dings. There is a modern 675 hearing aid battery installed and the meter responds to light. Online sources suggest these batteries are good replacements for the original mercury cells that are no longer produced. The shutter speeds sound and appear to work well but have not been tested for accuracy. Shutter speeds below 1/30 tend to become inconsistent on Rollei 35s when not used on a regular basis. Most can be rejuvenated with use or by lubrication. The camera comes with the original case and strap. The case has minor wear and the zipper works great. This is a beautiful camera and again, very hard to find in this condition.


Please review the description and photos carefully because returns are not accepted.  With that said, I believe I have been very complete with documenting all the details but don't hesitate to ask questions before bidding.  I am very particular about camera gear so I have tried to give you as much information as possible.

If you have never used a Rollei 35, please consult a manual before operating the camera.  Manuals are readily available for reading online.

Thanks !!
