Rollei 35 Manual 35mm GOLD Full Frame Film Camera

Technical Details: Rollei 35 "Retrospekt 24K Gold Edition" 35mm Camera

Initially released in 1966, the Rollei 35 was lauded for its unparalleled compactness and high-quality optics, traits that still make it highly coveted by film photographers today. This little 35mm camera left an indelible mark on popular culture, from its use by Queen Elizabeth II to its appearance in Wes Anderson's "The Royal Tenenbaums." To celebrate this classic camera, Retrospekt has created a limited release of vintage Rollei 35 cameras plated in 24-karat gold. Each camera comes with a special camera bag, lens attachments and wrist strap - all packaged in a special presentation box with a user manual.

The Rollei 35, a compact marvel with superior optics, first graced the world in 1966 and remains a coveted piece of kit for film photographers. Its cultural impact is undeniable, having been wielded by Queen Elizabeth II and featured in Wes Anderson's "The Royal Tenenbaums". Retrospekt has chosen to honour this iconic 35mm camera with a limited edition release, each model resplendent in 24-karat gold plating. Accompanied by a unique camera bag, lens attachments, and wrist strap, each camera is beautifully presented in a special box complete with a user manual.

Key Features:

• Full-frame camera using standard 35mm film
• 24-karat gold plating
• Special edition camera bag
• Lens attachments
• Wrist strap

Because these cameras are comprised of genuine, vintage parts, there will be signs of wear visible beneath the gold plating. Gold plating is considered to be a "living finish" which means it is subject to the effects of weather, moisture, air and natural oils from the skin. Over time, the finish can oxidise and develop a patina. To decrease these effects, take special care in cleaning and handling your camera. Do not use cleaners that are designed for metals other than gold. The best way to polish the camera is to use a soft cloth and no moisture. Plating specification: MIL-G-45204; 99.7% purity

Please note, four variations of these cameras were produced in the 1960-70s. All cameras are functionally identical but of different manufacturing origins. As such, you may receive any of these four versions:
