Hi all!

Just aquired a Rollei 35 SE with Rollei flash, lens cap and "bag" (see pic.) for 92 Euros. It has the legendary 2.8/40 HFT Sonnar and I'm kinda curious how it'll perform 🙂
What do you guys think, good deal?
thanks in advance!

One incredible lens. I've posted this link before, but proof positive that this little gem is tops.

It's an incredible lens when you get the focusing right. I wish that same Sonnar was available in LTM for my screw mount Leicas.

Ah the scale focus. This is why I sold the camera as I pretty much suck at scale focus with anything longer than a 5mm lens.

I got one a few months back for $146.00. I have used it once and could not be more pleased. A Sonnar is a Sonnar!!.

I bought one awhile back and when I got the first prints back I was stunned. The contrast, clarity and sharpness was absolutely suburb.
