In response to the demand for a real compact film camera designed for the modern era, here we present our answer. A project as important as this shall not be taken lightly. Countless sketches adorn the drawing board as old ideas are scattered and reimagined.
While the final product bears a striking resemblance to its predecessor, its capabilities have undergone a remarkable transformation.

Goodbye Zone Focus. Hello Autofocus.
As good as the good ‘ol Rollei 35 was, it carried a significant drawback, making it one of the most iconic, but difficult to use pieces of equipment in modern history. Manual zone focusing.
Now equipped with state-of-art LIDAR technology that enables precise focusing from 70cm up to infinity, it eliminates the frustration of guessing the focus, only to find out that the distance was miscalculated after a trip to the darkroom.
Much faster, much easier, much more user-friendly.
