Rollei 35 (Rollei-Compur-Gossen-Zeiss)

The Rollei 35 is a compact 35mm viewfinder camera first introduced in 1966, notable for its small dimensions achieved by using a collapsing lens mount. This particular configuration pairs a Zeiss-branded lens with a Compur shutter and a Gossen-made meter, reflecting the German-assembled specification of the early production run.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for this Rollei 35 configuration have ranged from £700 to £1,200, with the two recorded sales straddling a midpoint around £950. Sample size is very small, so today's realised value is highly condition-dependent and a clean, fully working German-built example with its original Zeiss optic tends to sell for more than later Singapore-assembled variants.
