About the Item

Rollei 35B Miniature 35mm Film Miniature Viewfinder Camera Carl Zeiss Triotar 28mm F2.8 Prime Lens & Case (Black Model) Preceded by two concept studies, the entry-level model with a triplet lens, the Zeiss Triotar f 3.5 / 40 mm, hit the market in October 1969. Initially, for the first concept study, Compur was asked for a simplified shutter with a limited timing range of 1/30 sec to 1/125 sec, which, however, was not cheap enough for an effective reduction in production cost. Therefore, the first concept study got an immovable lens tube. The original movable sliding tube was one of the most expensive parts, because it had to be precisely manufactured on a lathe for a light tight fitting. The second concept study retained the sliding tube for the lens, but used a selenium light meter. A light meter for the accessory shoe was assigned to be built by Gossen in early 1968, but finally an uncoupled light meter was integrated in the camera housing. Aperture and shutter control on the lens barrel of a Rollei B35 The camera received the designation Rollei B 35, with the "B" indicating the light meter (German: Belichtungsmesser). In 1976 the Rollei B 35 was renamed as Rollei 35 B without any further modification, to better conform to the Rollei designation scheme.
