How to get your Rollei 35 Refurbished 

​

 

If you are considering having your Rollei 35 refurbished or fancy a colour option for your camera, we can help you. 

We have a number of options for you to consider. 

 

How Do I Make This Happen?

​

• First select your colour top and bottom by selecting Step 1 where you will be presented with a number of colour options. Choose your colour and then move onto Step 2 (optional).

• Step 2 gives you the option to choose different coloured parts/screws/lever for your camera. If you choose to skip past this step, your original parts will be used for the newly refurbished camera. 

• As the top and bottom of the camera are to be repainted, this requires the camera to be reskinned as a result of having to remove the back skin in order to paint. Therefore, you must select a new skin option within Step 3. 

• If you wish to customise the lettering on your camera, proceed to Step 4 where you are able to select a colour option. This step is optional and free of charge. 

• Lastly, the option to clean/ refurbish the viewfinder of your camera is available to you. By clicking into Step 5, you will find 3 different options such as a Viewfinder clean, a Viewfinder replacement (Singapore version) and a Viewfinder replacement (German version - glass only). 

​

How Much Does it Cost?

​

• In each option you will see prices starting from £250 for a top and a bottom to be repainted along with options for reskins starting from £40. There are various other options such as painted parts which you can see in option 2. 

​

How Does it Work?

​

• Once you have placed your order, we will send you shipping instructions. Once we receive the camera, we will dissemble it, undertake a basic CLA and send your top and bottom plus any parts you have specified to our ceramicist in France or Columbia depending on your order specifications. 

​

Timescales

​

• The ceramicists take between 8-12 weeks to paint your top and bottom parts. It then takes us a further 2-3 weeks to reassemble and reskin your camera before it is ready to return to you. 

• We have a number of loan cameras which we are happy to let you have for a modest rental of £7.50 a week plus postage. There is a refundable damage deposit required of £100. 

​

Things to be Aware Of

​

• We cannot repair things such as meters or mechanical issues as part of this service. If you require the camera to be repaired, you will need to book it in for a full CLA or meter repair. This option is available on the site in the shop.
