A single beam of sunlight falls on the bench, waiting — perhaps — for someone.

Trebišov, June 2025.

Shot on Pentax SP500 + CZJ Triotar with Fomapan 100, developed in Rodinal 1+50.

I do especially love the #Rollei #B35 model because these are simple to operate, have a clean #design, are sturdy and well made and are the cheapest on any Rollei 35 models. These #film cameras are manual only and have all the important parameters adjustable on the lens barrel. Only caveat is that the view-finder is a touch off-center but it's fine most of the time. Sure the #Zeiss #Triotar #lens is meh and maybe not as sharp as Sonnar and Tessar on other 35 models but for me it's good enough.
With the upcoming release of a new #Rollei #35AF I'd expect the #prizes of old Rollei 35 #analog #film #cameras become lower in the future. It probably won't affect the already cheaper models with the f3.5 #Zeiss #Triotar #lens (like 35B), however I suspect it will have more impact to the prize of the Rollei 35 cameras with the f2.8 #Sonnar lenses. It's probably a good thing, Rollei 35 is a fun little camera to own. It's small but strong, well built and can survive a lot.
