What it is
{"overview":"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. 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.","buying_guide":"Inspect the collapsing lens tube for smooth operation and check that it locks correctly when extended, as bent guides are a common fault.

Questions
Why does the Zeiss-lens Rollei 35 command a higher price?
The early German-assembled cameras fitted with the Zeiss-branded lens are scarcer than later Singapore production, which is reflected in the auction prices achieved for this specific variant.
