The Rollei 2000/3003s are 35mm cameras. They were designed by ZI to replace the Contarex. Rollei took over the designs when they bought Voigtlander and produced them as the 2000/3000 series of cameras. TTBOMK reliability was always a problem. CZ lenses for this series are hard to find and very expensive, more expensive than the equivalent Contax RTS lenses.
