Rollei 35T vs Rollei 35S film camera comparing test review by digital back /What's the difference?

[@snes3715]

This is like the most wholesome video I've seen for this month. Loved it!

[@ASISCAMERA]

Happy to hear that! Thank you very much!!

[@joshuawilfred1066]

This is a superb review. Keep the good work rolling!

[@ASISCAMERA]

Thank you very much. I do my best!

[@franzivogel]

Very nice review really taking in consideration real life situations. I have both of them, so for me great discovering the "floody" sky over the river with Sonnar. For years it was by consider as the best, but seeing this side by side is a whoaw. Thanx a lot.

[@ASISCAMERA]

Thank you VM! I'm happy if you enjoy the difference!

[@matsts]

I’m impressed by the quality of the review. Astonishing!

[@ASISCAMERA]

Thank you very much! Happy to hear that!

I had both Rollei 35T and 35. I like both of them.

[@ASISCAMERA]

I wanna have all! Not yet.

[@dullweekend]

I have shot quite a few rolls with a Rollei 35T of a friend and am looking to get a Rollei 35 of my own, and thanks to your video now I got my decision.

[@ASISCAMERA]

Happy to hear that. Enjoy!

I got a Rollie that was not working plus with body shell damage beyond repair. I took the lens off and glued it to a Leica body cap and adapted it to Sony A7ll with Techart auto focus. The image quality is very good. Thank you for sharing. I always wanted to do something like what you did with film camera. My way of thinking is why can't someone built a focal plane extender so to push the focus back a little so someone can built an adapter to fit a digital body. Just a thought.

[@ASISCAMERA]

Thank you very much. Autofocus Rollei lens! Very attractive way to enjoy broken one and I wanna have Techart AF system some day!

[@9595kerekes]

Wow you did such a great job! I am very surprised that the Tessar was better. (The Tessar is a Carl Zeiss design as well) I feel like the Sonnar is supposed to be better, and doubt that Rollei would have released it as the more premium model if the lens performance were actually worse than the Tessar, so I think that there might be something wrong with your one, or maybe the digital back didn't sit perfectly at the film plane but of course it is still possible that this is the case. Thanks for the video, it was very interesting!

[@ASISCAMERA]

Thank you very much for kind comment! Yes, some troubles may happen on my test and as you know, both cameras are around 50 year's old. The result is just "my" result. Tessar's sharpness on closest distance with open aperture seems better but it may not affect normal use of these nice snapshot cameras. And more, blighter lens on 35S may help many situation. Even after my test, I think Rollei 35S have worth to get with higher cost. I love both!!

[@adamknot4324]

My guess why Rollei 35 S had soft corners is that the digital sensor not was not sticking tight enough. Even a fraction of a millimeter makes a difference in sharpness at close ups. The corners are sharper at the lowest aperture because of greater dept of field. Lenses usually are not the best at f/22. This lens would have the best IQ around f/8 and corners would be sharp at this aperture. That's why I think the sensor got a little loose, but it's just my opinion. Nevertheless it's a great comparison. I'm very impress with your digital back. I'd love to have one.

[@ASISCAMERA]

Thank you very much for sharing your analysis! It may not fit perfectly, because it is just hand-made digital back. I enjoyed these old beautiful cameras and very happy you enjoyed!

[@huij1099]

Love the comparison, just wondering which flea market did u get the cameras from :)

[@ASISCAMERA]

Top secrets but I tell only you! I remember that I found 35S at Flohmarkt Konstanz in Germany. 35T forgot detail place..

[@huij1099]

AS IS CAMERA hehe, luv you so much. I want to go to Europe after corona and raid all the film cameras from the flea markets :)))

[@robiulahmed]

This is an excellent comparison! I originally wanted a 35S, but I bought a 35. I think I made the right decision!

[@ASISCAMERA]

Congrats for your nice decision! I love both and 35(T) made me surprise!

[@superkuiy4488]

Amazing work so how about triotar 3.5 f

[@ASISCAMERA]

Thank you very much! I haven't tried triotar yet..

[@shademanirvanipour6870]

I got a Rollei 35s Camera and I paid £27.00 for it few years ago and it got original camera case and lens cap and strap on it and got a front filter and I GET CLEAR PHOTOS ALL the time ON ALL Apratures

[@ASISCAMERA]

Wow congrats for your perfect hunt!

[@lariri214]

Hope to see a mobile phone attached to this vintage camera

[@ASISCAMERA]

To do that, it needs different system... I haven't tried and wanna do that.

[@Socrates...]

I don't think you can make any general conclusions regarding Rollei 35T vs RolleiS, only at best regarding the examples you have in front of you. In order to really compare you would have mint examples of each camera that have been serviced, and your digital set up would be tested against a third camera as a control point. What you are showing is interesting at best, but not conclusive.

[@ASISCAMERA]

100% agree with you and thank you for interest!

[@michaelrivera1724]

Good info

[@ASISCAMERA]

Thank you!

[@codiecrieg2480]

Can you tell me what did you think making frankenstein like that to make compar? Anyway this can be throw away becouse lens will act totally different when you use digital camera lens with coating and plastic insteed of glas. If you want make compare video buy some film dude..... it is cheep and make more sens.... I can tell you that this was totally waste of yor time... and our as audience

[@ASISCAMERA]

Thank you for watching and sorry for wasting your time!
