macodirect promise of quality

At macodirect.de you can count on our promise that you won‘t buy
a pig in a poke.

If you buy used film cameras online or at a flea market, unfortunately, it cannot be assumed that after decades it still functions as on the first day. It is less the wear that gives a hard time to these cameras, but the „untouchedness“ in which the lubricants harden and the fine mechanics sticks together.

To ensure that the online purchase doesn’t become a nightmare, all of our film cameras have been thoroughly tested, cleaned and, if necessary, repaired by our certified service partner.

You can count on our promise that the cameras will be delivered to you in a perfect technical condition.

Each camera is sold with a 12-month warranty and comes with
a certified test protocol.

Jede Kamera wir mit einer 12-monatigen Gewährleistung und einem zertifiziertem Prüfprotokoll verkauft.

Description Camera:

High-quality 35mm range finder camera with metal focal-plane shutter and TTL-metering-system. Comes with metal body and interchangeable German made Carl Zeiss lenses (lenses which also fit Leica M Bodies). Rollei 35 RF with Zeiss Sonnar 2,8/40 mm Rollei Fototechnik, Braunschweig.

Set: Rollei 35 RF body, rapid film advance "Rollei QW 35", Zeiss Sonnar 2,8/40 mm HFT "Made in Germany" (screw-mount lens M39 with adapter for Leica M) and 40 mm viewfinder. - With box for body, case for lens, instruction manual and strap.

The Rollei 35 RF (2002) is a version of the Cosina Voigtländer Bessa R2 marketed not by Cosina but instead by Rollei, complete with a Rollei Sonnar 40mm f/2.8 HFT lens. A Rollei Planar 80mm f/2.8 HFT lens was also offered.

Like the Bessa R2, the Rollei 35 RF has a Leica M mount and a vertically-traveling metal focal-plane shutter. Its TTL exposure meter requires batteries, but all other functions are mechanical. Shutter speeds range from 1 to 1/2000s and bulb (B), with flash sync at 1/125s on hot-shoe or PC terminal.
The most obvious differences from the R2 are the price (much higher) and appearance: more silver, and more prominent branding. Beside this badge engineering, there are other differences. The shutter-speed knob and the grip on the body are slightly redesigned and more importantly the frame lines are for 40, 50, and 80mm. (The 40 setting leaves a generous amount of view outside the frame lines, as the viewfinder optics were designed to accommodate 35mm lenses.)
