Extremely rare late Rolleiflex 3.5F type 5 WF with the most late and very rare improved 6-elements Schneider Kreuznach Xenotar 75/3.5 lens, the last classical lens generation of the Xenotar 75 line with the great contrast and resolution and very special rendering. This lens futures 3 lanthanum elements! The 6-element version of the Xenotar 75/3.5 was a more complex development of the 5-element Xenotar 75/3.5, in which an additional cemented element was introduced for improved correction of coma and field curvature, while retaining as many as three lanthanum glasses (LaK/LaF series from Schott) along with high-dispersion flints (SF series).
For collectors/users: this later 3.5F type 5 Rolleiflex also unofficially called "White Face"
Please notice, the current condition is pretty close to new but the final condition of the camera will be generally improved during the rebuild process what gives every rebuilt camera fresh mint look and operating feeling.
The amount of 2250 EUR represents only 50% of the payment;
the remaining 2250 EUR is due upon completion.
(total amount - 4500EUR.)
At the moment, I have accumulated a number of pre-orders, so I estimate that your camera will be ready about 22 weeks from the order date.
This waiting time is organised by priority and structured in a way that allows me to work in parallel on a more affordable range of cameras, such as the Rolleicord Vb and Rolleiflex 3.5B.
Every camera rebuild is its own project.
I completely rebuild and re-adjust the camera from the ground up.
This work is on a totally different level than a typical CLA.
Having full control over the entire process takes significantly more time and a lot of attention to detail.
I fully strip the camera, inspect every part, and bring all internal components and adjustments back to factory specification or even better.
I clean, renew, re-lubricate, and re-adjust the entire camera, then test every function.
As a result, everything works with high precision and often feels even smoother than it did when new. Focus is calibrated exactly to the film plane, and the camera is film-tested on a dedicated stand to guarantee excellent focus accuracy.

USA CUSTOMERS
Due to new customs regulations effective September 1, 2025, UPS is currently the only carrier we can use to ship from Germany to the United States. The good news is that, based on our October 2025 shipments, total fees and duties have not exceeded about $150 for a used camera—even on items valued above €5,000 so no significant taxes or fees are expected.
