The SL2000F is a 35 mm SLR camera, introduced by Rollei in 1980. It has an outward resemblance to a typical medium format SLR camera of the same era. Its innovations included a dual viewfinder for eye-level or waist-level use, and an integral motor drive. It uses interchangeable film holders with film inserts and a dark slide system for mid-roll changes. The film holder attaches to the camera body, and a battery holder attaches to the back of the film holder.

The camera has a focal-plane shutter with speeds 16 seconds to 1/1000 second. It has aperture-priority automatic exposure, with ±2 stops of exposure compensation. A range of Zeiss lenses, with Rollei's HFT coating, was made for the camera.
