The Rollei 35RF is a 35mm film size compact rangefinder camera with a built-in flash.

It was produced in 1981 by the Japanese company Nittō Kōgaku to the design and specifications of Rollei.
The 35RF is, apart from small cosmetic details, the same camera as the Voigtländer VF 35F.

Note : the name Rollei 35 RF was later, in 2002, used for quite another camera, see Rollei 35 RF
