The Rollei 35AF (2024) is a modern reimagining of the 1966 Rollei 35 by Hong Kong-based MiNT Camera under license from Rollei. The body footprint matches the original Rollei 35 — same compact dimensions, same general design language with the lens inset on the front face. Modernizations: **LiDAR autofocus** with 3 zones (close, medium, infinity), programmed exposure with a 35mm f/2.8 lens, AAA battery, electronic leaf shutter. Cosmetics: black or silver, leatherette wrap.

Announced via Kickstarter campaign 2024 by MiNT Camera (the Hong Kong company also responsible for the InstantKon RF70 and TL70 instant cameras). Funded successfully; first production runs shipped late 2024. Continued production through 2025 and 2026. Limited initial-run colorways (black + silver + commemorative blue) sold quickly.
The Rollei 35AF is the second new film camera released by a brand other than Pentax in the 2020s revival (after the Pentax 17, 2024, and Leica M6 reissue, 2022). It's also the first "original new design" attempt — not a reissue of an existing body but a modern reinterpretation. The LiDAR autofocus is genuinely novel for film: most reissues either keep zone focus (Pentax 17) or rangefinder (Leica M6 reissue). LiDAR is faster and more accurate at close distances.
For 2026 buyers, the 35AF at $800 is positioned as a "modern travel film camera" — small, autofocus, AAA-powered. The lens is decent but not Zeiss-tier; the autofocus is fast but the 3-zone system has obvious limits for close work.
Lens fixed. AAA battery (any standard). Optional MiNT case and strap.
