The RolleiRollei was a German manufacturer of optical instruments founded in 1920 by Paul Franke and Reinhold Heidecke in Lower Saxony and was the maker of the Rolleiflex and Rolleicord series of cameras. Later products included speciality and nostalgic type films for the photo hobbyist market. 35 held the title of smallest full-frame 35mm camera in the world for some time.

In spite of a premium price, it was one of the best selling 35mm cameras until overtaken by autofocusAutofocus (AF) is an optical system that uses a sensor, a control system and a motor to focus on an automatically or manually selected point or area. The process of autofocusing generally works as follows: • An autofocus processor (AFP) makes a small change in the focusing distance.
• AFP reads the AF sensor to assess whether and by how much focus has improved.
• Using the information from (2), the AFP sets the lens to a new focusing distance.
Autofocus systems can be found on film and digital cameras. designs.

Due to the popularity of its design, the name and shape were revided in 2024 with a version offering both AF and AE called Rollei 35AF

Background

A breakthrough design by Heinz Waaske, the first RolleiRollei was a German manufacturer of optical instruments founded in 1920 by Paul Franke and Reinhold Heidecke in Lower Saxony and was the maker of the Rolleiflex and Rolleicord series of cameras. Later products included speciality and nostalgic type films for the photo hobbyist market. 35 appeared in 1966 in direct competition with the half frameHalf frame cameras allow you to take two photos on one standard 35mm frame. This means that you can take 72 photos on one roll of film instead of the standard 36 and 48 on a normal 24 exposure film. The frames are in portrait rather than landscape. Olympus is probably the most well known manufacturer is Olympus with its Pen range - Pen-F, Pen EE, etc. format that was introduced in 1961. As a full-frame, well specified 35mm camera that was little larger than a cigarette pack, the RolleiRollei was a German manufacturer of optical instruments founded in 1920 by Paul Franke and Reinhold Heidecke in Lower Saxony and was the maker of the Rolleiflex and Rolleicord series of cameras.

The 35 was produced in Germany and, from 1971, in Singapore.
