Rolleiflex 3.5F w/Zeiss 75mm f/3.5 Planar EXCELLENT

Gorgeous Rolleiflex! Paint is awesome, no dents or dings.

Speeds are accurate. Camera was overhauled 9/30/25 by Bay Area Camera Repair. Even the meter works on this one (almost never happens with a 60= year. old selenium light meter).

There is a ID number on the tripod mount. Other than that this appears almost like new.

Camera comes with leather case, meter diffusion panel, strap, and correct metal lens shade.

It's very rare to find one this nice. Don't wait on this one!

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 not work tomorrow!

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