For Sale Rollei QZ35T 35mm compact HFT Vario-Apogon 38-90mm lens + flash kit

[Phil Hudson]

Rollei QZ35T 35mm compact camera with automatic and full manual controls.

This is a premium quality compact camera with a Rollei HFT Vario-Apogon 38-90mm lens which is f/2.8 at 38mm. The image quality is really outstanding and it has glorious click stop apertures on the lens ring - just like a "proper" camera!

Also has 1/8000th to 16 seconds shutter speed, titanium metal body and a whole range of other features.

Comes with strap, add-on 20-QF flash, instructions and the often missing remote control lens cap (a bit clunky as a lens cap but quite a cool accessory for candids!)

This camera has been used occasionally by me and works perfectly. The battery for the databack has not been replaced as I never used it so I cannot vouch for the functioning of this part. No other functions are controlled from the back so it is of no consequence.

I include an attempted photo through the viewfinder to show that all the information is working properly.

Asking £690 + shipping from here in the UK.

Outstanding! Porsche designed, no less....

I have this camera, as well as the W version which has the 28-60mm lens.
This camera really is the pinnacle of P&S cameras, albeit in a Leica M9 size body. I compared the lens to my Leica 28mm Asph at same apertures, and frankly could barely tell any difference.

There is no other P&S camera that has a shutter speed range from 16 sec to 1/8000, available in auto and manual exposure modes all the time. i.e. no weird light level/exposure combo that unlocks the top end like some 'premium' cameras.
No other P&S camera has this wide an EV range. I think it is -2 to 19.

Downsides? Noisy and large. Upsides? The lens, the shutter and the full manual/full ae control just by turning one of two dials - shutter speed, aperture ring. Have both on A = Program. Have Aperture on A, Shutter speed on anything else = Shutter priority. Shutter on A, Aperture on anything else = Aperture priority. Both on anything apart from A = manual. So simple and quick.
Spin the focus dial to set it to AF, or whatever other setting you want.

Awesome camera! GLWS!
