This is a classic small analog 35mm film camera from the 1960s, it features full manual controls and a built-in light meter.  This particular example seems to be in excellent cosmetic condition, the film winding, shutter release and focus mechanims work, light meter functions well (it gives the same reading as my hand-held light meter), lens extends and locks fine, aperture ring feels good.  The original Rollei lens cap is included however it no longer grips the lens.

 

 

No signs of mold or fungus inside or out, no paint chips or grime.

 

 

Triotar 3.5/40 lens.

 

 

Original Rollei case is also in excellent condition, original wrist strap and attachment hardware all in great condition.

 

 

See photos for two small dents on two of the corners, these have not broken the paintwork.  I did put a film through it however all of the shots came out underexposed, though it was consistent through the entire film so with a bit of trial and error perhaps this can be worked around (or perhaps I was just doing it wrong).

 

 

A nice collector’s piece to display on a shelf or to use if the correct exposures can be worked out.
