Rollei 35T with Carl Zeiss Tessar 40mm f/3.5 Lens

The Rollei 35T is a compact 35mm film camera, part of the legendary Rollei 35 series, known for its precision engineering and portability. The T in 35T stands for Tessar, referring to the high-quality Carl Zeiss Tessar 40mm f/3.5 lens. This model retains the fully manual controls of its predecessors, making it an excellent choice for photographers who enjoy hands-on, classic film photography in an ultra-compact design.

Key Features

• Compact and Lightweight – One of the smallest full-frame 35mm cameras ever made, making it ideal for travel, street photography, and everyday use.
• Carl Zeiss Tessar 40mm f/3.5 Lens – A four-element Zeiss lens known for its sharpness, contrast, and color accuracy, delivering high-quality images with a classic, vintage character.
• Fully Manual Operation – The Rollei 35T requires manual focusing, aperture, and shutter speed selection, making it best suited for those who enjoy full creative control.
• Zone Focusing System – The camera uses pre-set focus distances rather than a rangefinder, meaning you estimate the distance and set it on the lens. This may take some practice but allows for fast shooting once mastered.
• Shutter Speeds: 1/2s – 1/500s + Bulb Mode – Offers flexibility for different lighting conditions and long-exposure photography in Bulb mode.
• Selenium Light Meter (Battery-Free) – The built-in selenium meter provides exposure guidance without the need for batteries. However, due to age, some meters may not function accurately, so an external light meter or the Sunny 16 rule is recommended.
• Retractable Lens Design – The lens collapses into the body, making the camera extremely compact when not in use.
• Durable Metal Construction – Built with high-quality materials, ensuring long-lasting performance and reliability.
