1967-1971 German Rollei 35 Vintage Camera w/ Zeiss Tessar 40mm f/3.5 Lens, Case

Description: Launched in 1966, the Rollei 35 was, at the time, the smallest 'full frame' 35mm camera in the world; it remains among the smallest all metal full frame 35mm film based cameras, making it desirable for urban use. This camera, serial number 3122625, is among the first batches made in Germany between 1967 and 1971; made in black, it features the Carl Zeiss Tessar 3.5/40mm lens with the feet marker on the top and meter marker on the bottom intended for the American market. This would be the original Rollei 35 model, later renamed the Rollei 35 T with the introduction of the Rollei 35 S. The lens barrel is dent free with a fully functional barrel lock and no apparent scratches, clouding, or fungus visible on the lens. The top plate is both original and in excellent shape with only extremely minimal surface scuffing and scratches. Inside the camera, the battery compartment for the exposure meter is clean and in good shape; the meter has been tested with a MRB625 mercury-free replacement battery and is working! No battery is present and it has not been tested or modified to the best of our knowledge. The shutter and film advance all work as intended and the viewfinder is clear. This well-kept camera, safely stored in its Rollei case, is in excellent overall condition with only minor surface scuffs as expected of the age. It is not film tested and is sold as-is. Please see pictures closely for more information on condition, and feel free to ask any questions you may have prior to purchase. Attention eBay Buyers:I do my best to accurately describe items listed for sale. Any chips, cracks, tears, stains or other noticeable damage will be listed in the description. If no damages or defects are listed above, it is because I didn't see any and the item is in very good condition. Please look carefully at the photos, as they are considered to be part of the description! Many of the items I list are from estate, household, and yard sales and are priced low accordingly, but occasionally a flaw or defect may be overlooked or damage may occur during shipping. Some items may not have been tested to make sure they work properly. I try to note that in the description. Feel free to ask for more information prior to bidding, and I will answer to the best of my ability. If you are not 100% satisfied, do not hesitate to contact me. I will do my best to resolve the problem.Payment:Payment to confirmed PayPal addresses only, please; no exceptions. Payment is due within 3 days of the close of the auction. Payment later than that will interfere with our shipping schedule and may result in your package not being shipped until the next batch. Florida residents, add 7% sales tax or a valid 2023 Florida State Resale certificate. Shipping: The shipping cost is shown in the shipping section of the listing. This is the shipping cost you are asked to pay. All prices are based on ACTUAL USPS rates and do not include a handling charge. Sometimes, depending on your location, Priority Mail is feasible at the amount paid, in which case your item will be shipped that way. If you feel the shipping charge is too high, contact me prior to bidding, and I may be able to make an adjustment. If you would like your item shipped by another method (UPS, FedEx, etc), contact me and I will try to accommodate your request. We are happy to combine items to reduce shipping when it doesn't compromise the safety of the items being shipped. Please note that some heavier items may require additional shipping costs west of the Mississippi River; please contact me for a revised shipping quote.Handling:Each item is carefully packaged to ensure safe arrival at its destination. With the cost of boxes, bubble wrap, peanuts, tape, etc., I often spend more on shipping/handling than the buyer is charged. I usually ship within two business days of the close of auction. I will notify you if it will run later than that for any reason.
