The Rollei 35AF Camera Gets A Filter Kit

credits: Mint/Rollei 35AF

Mint finally addressed one of the main requests regarding their Rollei 35AF cameras, the ability to use filters. In direct response to community feedback, the company launched a new Filter Kit including a UV filter, Black Mist 1/4 filter and yellow filter, all of which attach via a new magnetic adapter.

According to Mint, the project reflects the same philosophy that guided the original Rollei 35 cameras, which were gradually improved over time through multiple versions. The company says it wanted to preserve that spirit of refinement and, more importantly, offer something that would work with both new and existing cameras. The challenge, of course, was making the system compatible with units that were already shipped, something that Mint solved by designing a magnetic filter adapter that attaches to the front lens ring. Newer Rollei 35AFs already include a magnetically sensitive lens ring and cap.

For those who bought the camera before the update, Mint is offering a free lens ring upgrade kit that includes a video tutorial to help with installation at home. The new filter kit is priced at $99 and is available starting today from the Rollei 35AF website.
