The acquisition of this Rollei 35T, essentially a rename of the original Rollei 35, began what was an epic day of purchases at the monthly Civitan of Arlington Flea Market. In the end, I took this Rollei, Nikon EM with f1.8 lens, Honeywell Pentax Spotmatic with Takumar f1.4 lens, unidentified 127 folder, and a Voigtlander Prominent I home with me, all for around $130.
As my friend wanted to immediately borrow the 35T, pictures that I took on the first roll were developed a full two weeks before I got the camera back to photograph properly.
