Rollei 35 S with a damaged corner, but fully working. Such a nice camera.

Some of us think that it is only then a real Rollei 35 when it´s dented at least once ;-) Have fun!

LOL!
I'm happy to report that I've never dented a Rollei 35! But then, I always keep mine in its case unless actually taking a photo.

I was picking up prints today at my local camera store (camerabar.com) and the proprietor showed me a German-made Rollei 35 he'd gotten in. He said it had no dents but sure enough, there on the top deck....

The body shell of the Rollei 35 is extremely thin. They were trying every way possible to save weight, it seems.🙂

This is the best F4.
When they first came out this is the only one available with the smaller battery pack, MB-20.
When the MB-21 came out they called it the F4s and no one wanted the MB-20 anymore.
Nowadays the MB-20 is preferred and harder to find ($100+ just for the MB-20 on ebay) as it's much lighter/smaller. 🙂

Can you all help explain this auction price?
Seems like someone was feeling the Christmas spirit in a very big way.

Not bought but gifted to me by one of the hosts of a camera podcast for Xmas. A 1st version Praktica KW. Seems to be working mechanically and pretty good cosmetic condition. I have a bunch of m42 lenses but this 50mm f2.8 Schneider Xenar looks pretty good on it.

Agreed! While. I think the F4 with the MB-21 looks super sexy, I want to keep it small. It is a beast of a camera already! 🙂

Does anyone know the root cause of the lcd leakage? Doesn’t seem to be an issue with lcd panels in general, lots of old calculators and other electronic devices older than f4s appear less susceptible. Something to do with getting knocked about perhaps?

Great camera. Back in high school I worked for a photographer who had a F4s. She preferred her F3s w/MD4 (we had 5 or 6 on every shoot) but I always lusted after that F4s. Kind of shocked I've never snagged one.

The LCDs that I've worked with don't actually leak, and the liquid crystals themselves seem to last indefinitely. But the polarizing filters can fade or discolor, and the reflective foil backing can oxidize, causing areas of the display to appear dim or blackened.
