Catalogue information
The Rollei XF 35 is a German 35mm rangefinder camera with which Rollei hoped to emerge from a financial crisis in the 1970s. With the XF 35 the intention was to compete in the Asian market with the then very popular brands such as Canon, Minolta and Yashica. Rollei had the XF 35 - in collaboration with Voigtländer - built under license in Singapore in an edition of 207 500 copies. When an article says 'Singapore', many refer to 'TILT' because certain products from that country had a bad name, but that does not apply to the Rollei cameras. The Rollei XF 35 is a lot larger and much less refined than the cameras from the classic and compact Rollei 35 series. The Rollei XF 35 was only available in black but as a Voigtländer VF 135 - also produced by Rollei? - also in chrome. The lens is a Zeiss Sonnar 2.3 / 40 mm which was described by users as very good.
