Rollei 35T
The Rollei 35T is a compact 35mm viewfinder camera from the German Rollei 35 series, a line of small-format cameras introduced in the late 1960s. The T variant sits within the family as a fixed-lens, scale-focus design aimed at travel and everyday photography.
At UK auction, recent hammer prices for the Rollei 35T have ranged from around £88 to £150, with limited data points sitting either side of a roughly £120 midpoint. As of 2026, what a 35T sells for at saleroom level depends heavily on cosmetic condition, working meter, and presence of the original case and caps; clean, fully functional examples tend to lead the price band while scuffed or non-working bodies sit at the lower end.
