Rollei 35 Lens Zeiss Tessar 3.5/40 Made In Germany

Rollei 35 Zeiss Tessar 3.5/40mm lens

Thanks to the revolutionary design of Heinz Waaske, the first Rollei 35 appeared in 1966 in direct competition with the half-frame format introduced in 1961.

As a 35mm camera barely larger than a pack of cigarettes, the Rollei was a great commercial success, selling millions of units. Almost every aspect of the camera was specially designed with the aim of making it as compact as possible. The shutter was made by Compur but to a design by Waaske which allowed the use of a folding lens. Gossen supplied the CDS meter used to save space.

Rarer and more sought-after version made in Germany.

The machine works perfectly, it only has some small aesthetic imperfections on the top (but this is a very common thing on these machines.

Without cap, with original case and cord

Excellent mechanical and aesthetic conditions, only a very small dent in the viewfinder, highlighted in the photo
