is a German Manufacturer of Optical goods founded in 1920 by Paul Franke and Reinhold Heidecke in Braunschweig , Lower Saxony, and maker of the Rolleiflex and Rolleicord series of cameras. Rollei's cameras use Carl Zeiss and Schneider Kreuznach optics.
- Rollei 35 Compact Original viewfinder (Germany) with 40mm F3.5 Carl Zeiss Tessar.
- Rollei 35S compact 35mm film camera with a 40mm f2.8 Sonnar lens.
- Rolleiflex SL2000 (or 3003) SLR - a 35mm SLR with interchangeable magazines - not the first, but now unique for a modern 35mm SLR.
- Rolleiflex SL35 range - 35mm SLRs produced from the 1970s though to the late 1980s, using Carl Zeiss optics. Other lenses, like the Schneider , and the Rolleinar (manufactured for Rollei mainly by Mamiya ) were also available. German-made models are still desirable, but the ill-fated Singapore models had sub-standard electronics which made them chronically unreliable.
- Rollei 6008 integral - advanced SLR with fast handling.
- Rollei 4.0 FW TLR with 50mm F4 Super-Angulon - classic reissue.
Some accessories manufactured for Rollei TLRs:
- Rolleinar: A set of close-up lenses, in three magnifications (Rolleinar 1, Rolleinar 2, and Rolleinar 3). A pair of Rolleinar lenses are placed on both the viewing and taking lenses.
- Rolleifix: Instead of screwing the camera body to a tripod, this tripod head clamps down on the TLR.
- Rolleipol: Rollei's polarizing filter.
- Rolleikin: Allows the use of 35mm film.
- Rollei panorama head: Attaches the camera to a tripod, and enables the photographer to take a series of aligned pictures to create a panoramic photo in an arc up to 360°.
- Rollei Pistol Grip
