  • After making the video of the Rollei XF 35, it was time to continue with the Rollei 35 LED. It is the smallest Rollei fully mechanical and manual rangefinder 35mm camera. I was impressed using it with an Ilford HP5+! I much prefer the 35 LED to the XF 35. In my opinion the lens is much sharper and the camera is small and concealable to use!

    I love the Rollei 35 series. Pocketable cameras with great lenses, very sharp and contrasty. I have a very old (and beaten) Rollei 35s black paint with a modified light meter for modern batteries. It is always in my bag. Very nice shots and video. Thank you for sharing.

    As usual, a very interesting and informative video. I was in a pawn shop before Covid hit and I asked the gentleman behind the desk if he had any old cameras. He said, let's see and after a while brings out a torn cardboard box filled with great old cameras. They were all just thrown in there as if they are just one step above trash. I figured I hit the jack pot and was going to get some great cameras cheap. On the bottom, in its case I found a mint Rollei 35 with the 40mm Sonnar lens. I am assuming that the Sonnar is the best lens for the Rollei 35 - at least 6 elements maybe 7. I was about offer the storekeeper $50, since he obviously didn't know what he had. But he beat me to the punch. He said, "let me look it up," then he said he wanted $500 for it! Well,, I can dream on. I was surprised that camera in the video only had a three element lens. Too nice of a camera for only a three element lens. But when I saw the photographs, I was pleasantly shocked. They are really clean and crisp and beautiful. Something you would expect from the Tessar or Sonnar lens. So the Triotar is perfectly adequate - actually more than adequate. As they say, it is not the camera but the photographer that makes the difference!

    That is one of the few Rollei 35s I do not have. I currently use two Rollei 35Ss and two 35 originals, but have several more. I have been using these little jewels since the 1960s and I love them!
    Hint: hook the film leader in the take up spools first. Advabce the film and fire. Advance the film again and close the pressure plate. NOW, put the film canister in place and close the back. Advance to frame #1 and enjoy!

    Another enjoyable and interesting review. I think your simple format of an introduction followed by examples is excellent. The images are great for such a small lens, which seems to cope remarkably well with shadows. Are the pictures subject to any editing to enhance this, or is this straight from the negative?

    I presume that the Rollei B35 has the same image quality as the 35 LED. I too had great difficulty loading my B35 when I first got it, your images are very good.

    • @ThePhotographyMinimalist
      @ThePhotographyMinimalist  4 года назад +1

      Thanks, I don't own the B35 yet,so I have not been able to compare both camera's. I think the B35 image quality is better with the 4 element Tessar lens. The 35LED has a Triotar 3 element lens. Besides that they both have same aperture and focal length. As soon as I get my hands on one, I will give it a test!

    • @randallstewart175
      @randallstewart175 2 года назад +2

      @@ThePhotographyMinimalist The B35 mounts the same three element Tiotar. The 35LED and B35 share a body which is distinctive from the other Rollei 35 models, having a less well equipped set of features in order to minimize its cost. The only difference is the meters, a selenium in the B35 and battery driven CdS in the LED. The Triotar can do a very nice imaging job if its aperture is kept in the range of 8.0 - 11.0, but optical aberrations will start to appear in the image corners and edges as you open it up from there.

      In the past I've enlarged films from a 35B Triotar (=35 LED), the quality for 4x5 album enlargements is perfect, today JPEG's for phones and tablets.
      But as soon as enlarged to 8x10 or bigger the quality was mediocre.
      When you expect top image quality it has to be the Tessar models 35, 35T, 35TE or even a bit crisper with the Sonnar models 35S, 35SE.
      Personally I own a 35S and a 35SE

    I bought this gorgeous little camera in a charity shop for peanuts and loving the results! I'm really interested to know more about zone focusing with this particular camera, I notice there are 4 dots and a line which I'm assuming is what I'd use. But what do those dots relate to as there aren't any numbers on them. I tried taking some shots at f3.5 and it was fairly hit and miss... but when it worked it was amazing.

    hi wonder if you could help me. i just bought a 35se - and shot a roll of film. but i noticed that every time you take a picture the shutter doesnt close until you wind to the next frame. it does make sense to me as i think the picture will be overexposed. but the whole design is unusual and wondered if theres some magic here. please advise.
    ie the shutter doesnt close after each picture - only when you wind to next picture.

    • @ThePhotographyMinimalist
      @ThePhotographyMinimalist  3 года назад

      I don't own a 35SE (yet) so I could not be sure. But the 35 LED is a delicate camera. The problem is that many people don't know that you need to wind the film to the next frame (cocking the shutter) before you put the lens back into the camera body. If you don't know you easily force and damage the mechanism. I think you will be needing a professional who can help you with the 35SE. Sorry I could not be of any assistance. Good luck!

    What do you think a fair price would be for a mint condition example like you have. Are batteries still made for this camera? So there are no depth of field markings and no visual indicator in the viewfinder that shows you are in focus like in a 60's rangefinder with a split image focusing methodology, (Interesting).

    • @ThePhotographyMinimalist
      @ThePhotographyMinimalist  2 года назад +1

      Good question, I would hope you would be able to buy a good condition 35 LED for approximately USD 75 - USD 100. That is what I would pay. The original mercury battery is not available, so you will need to check for alternatives. You can find alternative battery solutions on the net. Good Luck!

      You do not need to use a battery to operate the camera, it is fully manual. In the original manual it mentions a Mallory PX-27 or Varta V 27 PX 5.6 volt battery. You will probably need to look for an alternative. It would not suprise me if the VARTA V4034PX 4LR44 6 volt works fine, but I have not tried it yet...

      @grahammoore-grundy9944 3 года назад +1

      Hi Nathaniel! I owned this camera and can confirm you do not have to use a battery as you can fire the shutter mechanically. Using a battery will enable the meter to guide you as to whether your picture will be over, under or correctly exposed by displaying 1 of 3 light emitting diodes, hence the name LED of the camera. You half depress the shutter to get a diode to light and dependent on whether over or under would adjust your exposure, sometimes it might be just right! From memory I think correct exposure was green LEd and the others red. Batteries may be hard to get now, your experience may help you with estimating the exposure settings, or you could use a separate hand held meter which will add to the overall weight and defeat the object of having such a pocketable camera. It is a great camera especially for street photography as does not draw attention. Hope this helps. Regards, Graham
