Rollei 35af Review– Three Rolls in Two Iconic Places

Описание: Shooting the Rollei 35AF in Downtown Portland & the Marin Civic Center

In this video, I take the quirky Rollei 35AF on a two-city adventure — starting in downtown Portland and ending at the iconic Marin Civic Center, one of Frank Lloyd Wright’s final works. Known for its sweeping curves and otherworldly blue roof, the Civic Center is the perfect backdrop for a camera that somehow feels both futuristic and outdated.

I run three different film stocks through the Rollei 35AF: Spanish Hundred Red, Kodak Ektar 100, and Rollei RPX 400 black & white. Along the way, I’ll show you how to load film into the camera (and what happens when it doesn’t advance), share my real-world shooting impressions, and offer some honest thoughts on this reimagined 35mm compact. Let’s just say the auto-focus is… good when it's good but maybe kills a little of the artistry along the way. I briefly show you how to load film and had alot of fun creating some cinematic bts with this one in these fun locations.

This is a journey-style film photography video with a mix of hands-on testing, architectural history, and plenty of punchy, self-deprecating humor. You’ll see me make mistakes, recover from them, and prove that shooting film isn’t for the faint of heart.
Developing for this video was handled by ‪@TheDarkroomLab‬ while the poor humor was all mine.

If you’re into film camera reviews, 35mm photography, or just want to see the Rollei 35AF in the wild, this one’s for you. Subscribe for more camera tests, film stock comparisons, and plenty of opinionated rambling about both gear and great architecture.
