:wow: it looks like it's in very good condition. I bet it's worth more now than you paid for it.:naughty:Bought this little gem, brand new, 32 years ago this week.

A bit of history on the Rollei 35 -- (from the Web)
The most exciting project on Heinz Waaske´s drawing board was a miniature 35mm format camera. It was to become a resounding success, but not under the Wirgin name. Heinz Waaske had already tried to persuade his boss to produce this camera, and he had even made a model. But Henry Wirgin did not take the bit in his teeth. Perhaps the fiasco with the Edixa Electronica was too recent in his memory. Leitz in Wetzlar was presented with the idea, but refused politely.
Heinz Waaske had more luck with Franke & Heidecke in Braunschweig. Rolleiflex sales, which had been outstanding, were by this time on a downward trend and the company apparently lacked a replacement. Henry Waaske´s invention must have seemed like a gift from heaven. Today everyone knows how popular the little Rollei 35 became.
In 1965 Heinz Waaske resigned from Wirgin and moved to Braunschweig. He stayed with Franke & Heidecke till 1978, after which he started up his own design workshop.
He resolved problems for Minox and others.
In 1995, the gifted camera-designer died at 71 years of age.

wish i knew how to use it:shakehead
as a youngster i had it pretty much sussed out, now i have decided to go over the various settings and see what gives me the best result, and its clear to me, that having the shakes doesnt help, lol, so im off to get a tripod...When all else fails, read the manual. That's what got me to reading the Bible.
