Key Features
- Compact and Lightweight One of the smallest full-frame 35mm cameras, perfect for travel and everyday carry.
- Triotar 40mm f/3.5 Lens A three-element Carl Zeiss Triotar lens, known for its sharpness and classic rendering with a slightly softer, vintage look compared to the Tessar lenses in higher-end Rollei models.
- Fully Manual Operation Requires manual exposure control with separate shutter speed, aperture, and focus settings, making it a great choice for those who enjoy full creative control.
- Zone Focusing System Uses estimated distance focusing, meaning you select the distance on the lens rather than focusing through the viewfinder. It takes practice but allows for quick shooting once mastered.
- Shutter Speeds: 1/30s 1/500s + Bulb Mode A limited but practical range, suitable for most daylight conditions.
- Selenium Light Meter (Battery-Free) The built-in selenium light meter (no batteries required) helps guide exposure settings. However, due to age, some light meters may be unreliable, so using an external meter or Sunny 16 rule is recommended.
- Retractable Lens Design The lens collapses into the body when not in use, making the camera incredibly compact and easy to store.
- Lightweight Body Unlike the metal-bodied Rollei 35, the B35 has a lighter build, making it even more convenient for everyday carry.
