Rollei Waterproof Camera Review

Fits my gopro camera and waterproof housing.

I previously bought the Fotodiox Pro Rollei 35 to MFT lens mount adapter, to adapt my Rollei macro and telephoto lenses to my Panasonic Lumix GX7. It worked fine with the lenses, but would NOT fit my Rollei bellows unit or extension tubes. Logically, if it fits the lenses, it should fit the bellows and tubes, but it doesn't. I have no idea why, nor did B&H or Fotodiox when I contacted them with the problem. I then asked B&H if the Metabones unit might be more accessory-compatible, but they had no idea, which was perfectly understandable considering the oddball nature of the problem. In the spirit of you never know 'till you try, I went ahead and ordered the Metabones unit. I considered returning the Fotodiox adapter,but, not knowing if the Metabones adapter would be any better, I reluctantly decided to keep the Fotodiox one. The happy ending is that the Metabones adapter works perfectly with every lens and accessory (I still don't what the difference is, but it's real). It also has a (removeable) Arca-Swiss-type quick-release foot that eliminates a lot of strain on the MFT camera's lens mount from the larger, heavier Rollei lenses, especially the long telephotos. The only improvement I could suggest would be to make the foot's stalk about a quarter-inch taller. That would allow clearance for any quick-release camera plate that you might have mounted on your camera (I use an Arca-type L-bracket on my GX7). Anyway, problem solved, great product!

its not a traditional rollei camera, its different in a rather good way. first, its not as sturdy as the old rollei, but it is much lighter and more portable. dont misunderstand, its not flimsy, its just like a modern day, easy to carry around camera. second, the view plane is slightly less bright when compares to an old rollei (3.5F), but then considering this camera is 5.6F, so the brightness is quite good actually.  a little incident happened while i was using this camera, the pictures come out all overexposed, completely white. i thought the camera has problem. I email Mint (the current manufacturer of this new rollei camera), they are nice and patient and guided me through, turn out, I turned the camera into B mode and didnt notice it. overall, this is a good camera and worth buying.

Good Camera with tough body and got waterproof

Works great with her Coolpix S30 waterproof camera.

Rollei's infrared works fine, but do not forget to have your infrared filter!

I'm planning to use this for infrared photosWith Rollei film

For the money this is an excellent product to protect a camera and lens that is not waterproof.

Great product. I feel that my camera is always safe. Waterproof and lockable.

I'm using this for my 645z and its waterproof.
