Prototype MINT 35mm Film Camera

Heh. The more I look at it, the more I will feel tempted to add one to my compact 35 camera kit. In fact the only thing I'm not yet sure about is the AF itself.. but that's me.

It is definitely made to closely resemble the classic Rollei 35 models. I think they picked a great camera to represent their foray into a higher-end 35mm compact. Let's hope it can deliver the goods!

Totally agree! I’m a longtime shooter of Rollei 35 cameras, and feel pretty comfortable with scale focus. That said, the prospect of a new, AF film camera in Rollei clothing is exciting. I’ve looked at the website and the test photos and it all looks very promising. I need another camera like a hole in the head, but the Rollei 35AF sure looks tempting.

I really don't need another film camera, but this is interesting. Good times for film shooters. A new Pentax 1/2 frame camera on the way, and this full-frame Rollei.

I thought the tiny round OLED display an interesting choice. They can probably make it very useful if they design it right. Maybe part-time frame counter and part-time indicator for certain settings?

In these times of super expensive film a half frame camera is not a bad idea. I think they should have chosen a wider lens though…

Certainly seems more promising than Pentax's effort. I wish it was a 40mm though like the original.

Maybe they made a good compromise! 😆
