Rollei 35 B

The Rollei 35 B is a compact 35mm viewfinder film camera, part of Rollei's 35 series of pocketable cameras. It sat as one of the more basic variants within the range, offering the same scaled-down 35mm format in a small body at a lower price point than the higher-specified models.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Rollei 35 B have ranged from about £15 to £70, with a median close to £45 across the last two years of saleroom results. As of 2026, clean working examples with a responsive meter tend to sell for around £50-£70, while cosmetically tired bodies or units with meter faults are worth closer to £15-£35. Condition is the dominant price driver at this value level, since refurbishment costs can easily exceed what the camera sells for.
