It was offered to me for a reasonable price a Rollei

slightly larger than the classical Rollei 35, it uses
a mercury battery px 625 that could be replaced by a
LR9 or similar, the camera has a good shape but I know
nothing about it regarding its behavior in practical
use. If possible, I'd like opinions about it.
Thanks in advance.-


I guess it depends on what you think is a reasonable price. If you are saying $ 10 or so, yes, that's a reasonable price. If more, not a reasonable price. This camera tends to be troublesome and very unreliable. When they were closed out after production ceased you could buy them brand new for under $ 50. It has auto exposure only, no manual override. The lens is good, but the rest is not so good.
