Rollei 35 is a special compact camera.
That is why they designed this camera to be so compact and handy - we can always carry it in our pocket. They fitted it with a cadmium sulphide exposure meter system for quick and reliable shooting.

And with the 40 mm Carl Zeiss Tessar f/3.5 they not only selected a world famous lens, but also the ideal focal length for the picture: with the 57 degree angle of view we take in a more generous field of view than with a normal miniature camera lens.
