Rolleiflex 3.5 F w/Schneider 75mm f/3.5 Xenotar EXCELLENT

Absolutely gorgeous Rollei 35.F! This is the prettiest one we've seen in a while.

Speeds and light meter are accurate. Comes with Rollei caps, alligator strap and meter diffusor panel.

This will go fast so don't wait!

The Rolleiflex 3.5F is considered by many to be the best twin-lens camera ever produced.

It is fairly compact and light weight for a medium-format camera. The viewfinder framing actually adjusts for parallax error when focused (usually a problem when your taking lens is not the viewing lens).

Speeds go from 1-sec. To 1/500th, and B. The camera is equipped with a self-timer.

The taking lens is either a Schneider Xenar or Zeiss Planar 75mm f/3.5. This is a “normal lens” and great for all-around shooting. As this is a leaf-shutter camera there is no mirror vibration so it is easy to hold steady for slower speeds.

Some tout the Rolleiflex 2.8F as being superior due to having a taking lens that is a stop brighter. This is true, but many feel the 3.5 lens is actually sharper. With both models the viewfinder lens is a 2.8 so there is no advantage there. Also the 3.5F is a bit smaller and lighter.

The 3.5F has a built-in selenium light meter. We generally don’t pay much heed to whether they are working or not, as they are solar powered and were not meant to last 50+ years, and frankly weren’t that accurate anyway. If you have one that is working today it may no work tomorrow!

The Rolleiflex is a great system camera with lots of accessories available including a panorama head, stereo 3d head, waterproof case, filters, etc. There is even a telephoto and wide angle lens attachment.
