- This video walks you through the how to load/unload 35mm film into a Rollei 35 film camera. The model I use in the video is an "SE"; however, these steps broadly apply to the other Rollei 35 variants as well (i.e. S, SE, T, etc.)

I have been using these little jewels for over 50 years and I find it easier for me to hook the film leader first, advance, fire, advance, close the pressure plate and then drop the cassette in place. Very comprehensive review!
Helpful video for someone looking to load a Rollei 35 for the first time. One thing I would’ve pointed out is to make sure the film is loaded and advancing properly after loading by watching the center of the rewind crank. If loaded properly it should turn as you advance the lever just as confirmation you’re loaded correctly for a frame or two. Good habit with any manual film camera. Thanks again.
Thanks! I never had a camera like this where the back slides down in order to load film. Helped cleared up the steps for me!
I found this very helpful. Thank-you.
This was so helpful to me as well, thank you!
very helpful - thanks 🙏
Great video. I have the Rollei 35 LED and I can't get the film to take. I've wanted two rolls. So frustrating so hopefully your video helps. Thanks
My initial reaction was another pointless "how to load your camera" video. However, it is a very well organized and presented video on the process of loading one of the fussiest 35mm cameras ever made. As a Rollei 35 owner for decades, I'm long used to its peculiarities, but you can end up wishing for three hands when first introduced. My offer: The most troublesome aspect of the loading or unloading process in my experience is reinstalling the back. The fitting tolerances are very tight, and you have to start the back in the grooves at the sides, not just slide it up from the bottom of the body. Otherwise, it tends to jam when you try to slide it up and closed. Takes a bit of practice. Overall, nicely done.
