Rollei 35SE | Film Photography
An opportunistic find at a local Opshop (Opportunity Shop) a damn good price a delay in taking decisive action a sleepless night rueing not taking the aforementioned decisive action a dawn raid on said Opshop and welcome to my ever expanding waistlin......errrr camera collection the Incredible, the quirky the diminutive the powerful, basically an all round beaut the Rollei 35SE. This episode took some serious time and effort to put together. Hope you take something from it. Regards Paul

The beauty of photography is stuff happens things change so making photos of what we see now could take on more importance with the passing of time....WTF am I wittering on about? Well the shot of the Mangaone bridge towards the end of the video is no longer there. It was swept away on February 14th 2023 when Cyclone Gabrielle packed a right proper tantram wreaking havoc and destruction on our region, plenty of videos of the aftermath on my channel. Keep shooting everything, today it might seem normal and mundane, tomorrow it might be gone.
Preatty cool camera. I bought yesterday Rollei B35 becouse it was much more cheeper for me and i want to try zone focusing ;3 So much fun will be cant wait ;3
Sounds good mate, the Rollei is a cracking compact camera, I'm struggling with zone focus, really need to put more effort into it, I did pick up a cheap external rangefinder at a charity shop so might use that with the Rollei. Tanks for watching mate all the very best for the new camera and the new year.
The development and printing a great thing if you can do it
agreed mate I used to have a wee darkroom back in pre-digital days, loved making prints.
That Sonnar lens is brilliant
agreed mate I have a roll of film in the Rollei now just need to finish it and get it deved up, cracking wee camera.
Hi Paul,
you live really in a beautiful area. For the first roll your images came out very well.
Best regards.
Manu
Cheers Manu, yeah NZ is pretty Incredible, so diverse, so much to shoot and we get some gorgeous light. THanks for taking the time to have a look at my efforts. Definitely need to use the rollei more mate XX
brilliant. thanks for the putting the video together. glad you enjoyed the rollei experience and you managed some solid shots as well.
Welcome mate thanks for watching I think this wee camera will get plenty of use ❤️📷
Nice video. Haven’t tried my hands on film and it does look interesting from your vlogs. Cool shots you came away at the beach too. Thanks for sharing!
Cheers mate appreciate it. Definitely give film a go although I love and rely on digital these days it’s kind of too easy with film when you get a decent shot you get the feeling you’ve worked for it I dunno just something special about the look and feel of a film photograph. There’s a place for both digi and film and no one is better or worse they’re different and keep the interest alive. 2022 new year great time to pick up a cheap film cam and give it a nudge mate😉📷❤️
Really beautiful images!
Thanks mate appreciate it 📷❤️
Good one Paul- nice to have a down to earth review of the Rollei(eye) 35 and not some poseur hipster video...
Haha cheers mate poser and hipster deffo not me more like imposter and dipstick. thanks for taking a look
Very crisp shots Paul! I have a Rollei 35 as well, but I unfortunately don't use it often enough since I'm not used to zone focusing, but I definitely would like to try to practice more.
Definitely use it mate I think this is an incredible camera I love trying new to me old gear but this one is next level fun it’s a belter. Absolutely worth the effort getting used to it mate thanks for taking a look 📷❤️
Nice one Paul. That looks like a good little camera to walk around with. I always have a look in the op shops for cameras too. I haven’t found anything great yet, but I’ll keep looking.
Definitely worth looking mate some real bargains crop up I’ve got my name down at a couple of locals they’ll call me if anything comes in I’ve just dropped on a nikon f4 for 300nzd fingers crossed the bugger works 😂📷❤️
I got the Rollie 35s and I paid £27.00 for it few years ago from a charity shop in London and it got the original camera case And strap and lens cover and it works well and give fantastic photos as long as you know how to is it
Bargain price mate to be fair I need to load it up and use it more often such a capable wee camera 📷❤️
He scored well with the 35SE. As for the meter, there is not the issue people make out for the Rollei 35 generally. All prior models require a 1.35 volt battery, a banned mercury cell, or some modification or other battery. None of that is convenient. The SE (and companion TE) use a modern meter circuit which is not voltage dependent to function accurately.. I power my SE with a battery holder which takes 4 - 1.5 volt lithium button cells, totaling 6 volts, which the camera meter system modifies to 5.6 volts or less to let the meter work as designed. Very accurate, and the lithium batteries work for many years in my experience. If you can manage the zone focusing required, and being "old school", I do not understand why this is a problem for folks, this is the ultimate Rollei 35 model, and the ultimate pocket 35mm camera. The lens was tested when the camera was issued around 1972 on the 35S, and it performed on par withe the Leica Summicon 50mm at that time, i.e., better than all others.
More awesome info mate appreciate it the metre doesn’t bother me I’m happy to use a handheld or the sunny 16 way. I have to be honest this wee camera is a cracker I love it to bits it will Deffo get plenty of outings I love small cameras and this one is tiny but has massive potential 📷❤️
Hey! I have lots of problems with powering my SE camera as lots of the batteries I found on the internet do not fit in the battery compartmnet. Can you please share what kind of battery holder are you using or what is your method exatcly?
There are a couple of workarounds, but the easiest, and maybe the least expensive, is to get a little, plastic tube adapter. Its outside dimensions are the same as the absent PX27(?) intended for the SE. The inner dimensions hold four tiny watch-type cells, whether alkaline, silver oxide or lithium. The lithium cells cost the most, but are cheaper to use in the long run, as they last forever. These adapters were originally made by Minox for use in their subminature cameras. When I bought a new SE a few years after Rollei died, the seller simply put one of the Minox adapters in the Rollei box. Now, they are all over ebay. One of the best ebay possibilities is from a small business in German, which offers several variations, but the neatest is a piece which replaces the entire Rollei SE/TE holder-insert with one which incorporates the adapter, includes a set of cells, and puts a cold shoe on top, relieving the nuisance of the Rollei shoe on the bottom of the camera. The major point is that having to use the diode readout for metering with the SE/TE, Rollei finally had to abandon the antiquated Gossen meter from the original Rollei 35 and use a meter with voltage regulation built-in, thus making the meter's function no longer dependent on battery voltage.
Nice shots, and not easy using zone focus when you are used to TTL, great quality images
Cheers mate I went the easy lazy way set it to infinity that’s why the distance is tack sharp and some of near face a bit fuzzy sayin that I’ll Deffo stick with this camera it’s a cracker with huge potential I just need to be more precise with distances 📷❤️
Picked on of these little "Bad Boys" up at a local antique shop in Canada recently..... $25 ... Now have two of little devils for a total expenditure of $75 (Canadian) 😂😂😂
absolute bargain mate yeah I should get a slap every time I say bad boys haha, I'm editing them all out of recent vids. Pretty awesome wee cameras and great lenses. Thanks for taking a look mate appreciate it.
Wow! What a fantastic result from your first roll! How did you meter? Exposure is spot on!
Hey cheers mate, metered from a handheld sekonic XX
Stephen shore approves
Just googed Stephen I’ll check out his work asap cheers. 📷❤️
@@paultaylorphotography9499 he used this camera for his project American surfaces in the 1970s. He pioneered the snap shot with that project and innovated photos that just look like seeing
His project after that,called uncommon places, used an 8x10 view camera
@@nickfanzo awesome info mate cheers ive just added some docos about him to watch later looks interesting thanks for the heads up appreciate it
@@paultaylorphotography9499 great. Enjoy!
@@nickfanzo will do mate thanx 📷❤️📷
The Rollei 35 is the biggest bargain in film photography!
Definitely my best buy for ages. This wee camera is going to be well used mate cheers for taking a look.
Hi, I love the rendering of the skies, did you use any filter or is this the feature of film + developper brands ?
what developper did you use for this Rollei 400 retro ?
Hey cheers mate, no filters used I just added a linear grad on the skies in Lightroom classic to bring out detail in the skies. From memory the developer was Kodak D76, It's one I can get hold of pretty easily and at a decent price. Thanks for taking a look mate.
