Rollei's entry miniature compact — the 35 B, Triotar 40mm f/3.5, selenium meter, 1976.

The Rollei 35 B, also known as the B35, is a fixed-lens 35mm compact from 1976, one of the simpler and lower-cost members of the Rollei 35 family. It used a three-element Triotar lens and a selenium meter, marking it out from the Tessar and Sonnar models. It was aimed at buyers wanting the miniature Rollei 35 format at a lower price.

Built for 35mm film, the 35 B has a collapsible Zeiss Triotar 40mm f/3.5 lens that retracts into the body. Focusing is by scale, and it has a leaf shutter with manual exposure only. Its exposure meter is an uncoupled selenium cell that needs no battery to operate. There is no built-in flash; the accessory shoe is on the base of the camera.

The battery-free selenium meter and tiny body make the 35 B suited to street, travel, general and student use where simplicity and no reliance on scarce cells are welcome. The Triotar is a simpler lens than the Tessar, but the camera keeps the pocketable form of the line. It is a practical, low-maintenance entry to the Rollei 35 family.

On the used market, check that the lens collapses and locks and is clear of haze, fungus and separation, and that the focus and aperture rings move smoothly. Test the leaf shutter for accuracy and capping, and check the selenium meter, since selenium cells lose sensitivity with age and may read low or fail. Verify smooth film advance and rewind and check the film-door light seals.
