I mainly purchased this camera because it was mint in its box with all its accessories. I like this camera because it offered another chapter in miniature 35mm film photography. It challenged the camera world with compactness and yet maintaining very high quality for its size. I favor this camera over its competitors because of the great Rollei name and the cameras it produced. The lenses are admired and respected right along with only one or two others. While made in Singapore (my copy of this camera), the highest standards are totally still German Rolleiflex all the way. The little Sonnar lens is second to none in its price range. While becoming a fine collectors camera, it still can produce pictures with more charm and excellence than some modern higher end SLR digitals at a fraction of the cost. Film may be totally inconvenient compared to digital but for some special creative true photographic moments, it's worth the time, the needed extra attention and the effort. It's really a great fun camera and should not be judged beyond that point. Just enjoy it.Read full review
I loved this camera, it came in great looking condition. Unfortunately when I got the package it had a metallic smell to it and sure enough the battery had leaked. It took me a while to even be able to open the battery compartment it had leaked so bad. I had to return it because I am not experienced enough to fully clean it with out going to an outside source, the battery was an old mercury one. I bought a Rollei camera because I saw someone taking pictures with it and sort of fell in love. This can be a great manual film camera for a more experienced photographer.
This little gem take beautiful photos, although it is about 40 years old. The mechanical parts was made to be much durable, it are make like a tank, and I thing all the Germans analog cameras are very well made.( Leica series cameras ). The Zeiss optics are one of the most fabulous lens in the world. So the Rollei 35 camera is a wonderful photographic machine.
The goods arrived faster than expected. They all work well. In addition, it is equipped with batteries. The battery is hard to get, but it's a miracle. Thanks to this, the exposure needle also works well. The only components are the main body and the case, but they are very satisfactory.

Was not disclosed that the lens doesn’t lock up when collapsed or that the film advance lever doesn’t work. Only thing that does work is the light meter. Not happy. Description could have been better. Total loss of my $

This is a really cool old-school film camera. It's a work of art and a masterpiece of engineering. It's amazing how Rollei managed to a camera with full manual functions and a great quality lens into such a beautiful and tiny design.
