It had all the functions of the S元5ME but came in a lighter package. Two years later, in 1978, the S元5 E was introduced. The viewfinder also came with a whole range of indicators including aperture and shutter speed amongst others. Built on the same body, the S元5ME had electronic shutter control inside and could set shutter speeds automatically. The S元5M was built on a visibly different body based on an earlier Icarex design but with plastic top and baseplates and offered nothing technologically radical.Īt the same time, a variant of the S元5M, the S元5ME was also released. In 1976, Rollei produced a new variant, the S元5M. The Rolleiflex S元50 had open-aperture metering, an improvement over the Rolleiflex S元5 which was built with a stop down light meter. The Rolleiflex S元5 was the second Rollei SLR camera to be equipped with Carl Zeiss lenses, after the SL66 of 1966.įour years later, in 1974, Rollei produced the Rolleiflex S元50. The first camera in the range, was the S元5, and compared to its competitors at that time, it was relatively small and light. The S元5 is in fact a whole range of 35mm SLR cameras, that were developed and built from the 1970s until the 1990s. It will be very carefully packaged and shipped immediately.The Rolleiflex S元5 was the first 35mm SLR produced by Rollei, in 1970. This camera is truly one of the greatest cameras that we’ve had in the shop.
#Rolleiflex planar 2.8 35mm manual
It is a fully mechanical, fully manual camera, meaning that batteries are not required to use this camera. In addition, lenses can be reverse mounted on the camera for extreme macro close up photography. This allows for greater depth of field in close up photography, or perspective control when holding the camera with the focal plane at angles to the subject.Īlso, the SL66 uses bellows focusing, which allows the camera to focus on subjects much closer to the camera compared with competing medium format SLRs like the Hasselblad. These features include the ability to tilt the lens on the focal plane, much like one does in a large format view camera. At the time of its release, it was a very advanced camera offering many useful and innovative features that the competing Hasselblad did not. The Rolleiflex SL66 is a 6圆 medium format SLR camera produced by Rollei from 1966 until 1982. The included hard case is solid and tight, without major wear anywhere.Įssentially, this kit is as close to flawless as a vintage camera can be.
