FILM TESTED Rollei 35T Film Camera

Serial Number 6387226 – see gallery for photos taken with this camera.

The Rollei 35 series was an incredibly successful range of top-quality ultra-minature film cameras from the 1970s, celebrated for their precision engineering and portability.

The 35T features a high-quality Tessar 40mm f/3.5 lens, offering sharp image performance in a pocket-sized design. It shares the same innovative, all-mechanical build as the original Rollei 35, with manual exposure controls and a collapsible lens. The “T” distinguishes it from the Sonnar-equipped 35S, making it slightly more affordable but equally robust. It exemplifies German design in a truly compact form.

This is a Singapore-made model.
