Rollei, the renowned German camera and accessories manufacturer, has announced an exciting new edition of their iconic Rollei 35 compact camera. Set to launch in autumn 2024, the Rollei 35AF will feature cutting-edge lidar technology for precise autofocus, while preserving the classic design and ease of use that made the original so beloved.
The Rollei 35AF is the result of a collaboration between Rollei and MiNT, aiming to create a true compact film camera designed for modern times. While maintaining the compact size and iconic style of its predecessor, the 35AF has undergone a significant transformation to become faster, easier, and more user-friendly.
One of the most notable features of the Rollei 35AF is its state-of-the-art, laser-based autofocus system. By incorporating lidar technology, which has primarily been used in smartphones and drones, the camera achieves unprecedented accuracy and range in focusing, particularly crucial when using large apertures. This technology not only ensures precise focusing but also expands the creative possibilities for photographers.
In addition to the advanced autofocus, the Rollei 35AF boasts improved features that will appeal to both beginners and professionals. The camera is equipped with a built-in flash to handle difficult lighting conditions, making it even more versatile.
