膠片攝影 祿萊 35 af 膠片相機全面評測：它是玩具嗎？

Hey y'all, Connor here from Camerastore.com Back with a longer review of the Rolle 35 AF We had our first impressions video where Nico and I talked about our first experiences with the camera Just the first couple days Now I've had a little bit more time to shoot some rolls I shot like two and a half rolls Sit with the camera, hold it, play with it And see how I feel So we're gonna dive right in And talk about what this camera is So this is a joint production between Mint and Rolle So Mint has produced a bunch of cameras on their own A lot of instant stuff, a lot of Polaroid accessories And Rolle has a history spanning back almost 100 years Making TLRs, SLRs, all kinds of stuff Including the original Rolle 35 Which is a fully mechanical viewfinder camera With a... not detachable Collapsible The original Rolle 35 has a collapsible lens And was fully mechanical And then they came out with this Which uses a lot of the design styling of the older camera But with a lot of modern technology And a more traditional point-and-shoot experience So this is a fully autofocus camera It has autofocus down to 0.7 meters It has aperture priority auto exposure As well as manual control Which is pretty cool for a camera like this A 35mm f2.8 lens It's just a Rolle lens No Carl Zeiss involvement Like on the original Rolle 35 It has an OLED screen It's got DX coding Manual ISO control as well Manual advance and rewind Which is something that is important to a lot of people For that sort of classic feel And LiDAR focusing Which isn't that much of a game changer It's available on things like the iPhone And some other cameras as well But it's a method of autofocus This may be the first time it's ever been used in a film camera So that's pretty cool We're gonna walk around We're in our lovely harbor here in Tampere Take some pictures And discuss my experiences with the Rolle 35 AF So let's get going We came to a slightly shadier location For me to load the film And also talk about the loading With a camera like this That's taking very clear inspiration from a previous camera It sort of invites comparison The older Rolle 35 is notoriously finicky to load You have to take the whole back off And then there's a flap that you have to do It's kind of a pain And they've decided to keep it Almost exactly the same on this new model So you see I just slid the whole back off And then there's a flap here Instead of a more traditional hinge design Which is pretty universal And I definitely would have preferred it It's just a little bit difficult And we're loading Santa Color 100 Available on camerastore.com Once you get used to it, it's not so bad I will say this small hole here That the top of the film canister goes into Is very tight So we've had some issues loading Some weirder films, hand spooled films Basically film that's coming in Non-standard canisters We use Kodak and Fuji canisters for Santa film So it fits But some other third-party films might not But yeah, you just sort of slide it in there And the film pulls across You've got this pressure plate here And the back slides back on And this is where it is a little finicky And you can see It's just tough to get it in on both sides There you go And you've got to kind of push it I'm not exaggerating I think that this is a little bit difficult If you're a Rollei 35 purist You're used to this system You know what it's like But compared to something a little bit more modern Like a lot of the point-and-shoots that we're seeing In the 90s and the 80s Even into the 2000s This is more difficult And more things you have to keep track of Could they have done it a newer way? Probably I don't know why they did it the older way Except to keep it similar to the old Rollei So whether you like it or not is up to you I think it's a little cumbersome But let's get going We'll take some pictures Included in the box is this lovely leather strap I don't know if it's synthetic or real leather But feels nice, smells nice, I like it Not included is any adapter for using filters So no filters with the Rollei 35 AF So the first thing I noticed And probably the first thing that you'll notice If you buy one of these Is the shutter button This button is weird It takes quite a bit of force to press All the way in So you see you get the standard half-press Auto-focus kind of thing Auto-focus is a bit loud but It's not so bad So you fire the shutter And I'll take another picture And you see it didn't even do it So I've been having issues with this Basically this whole roll There we go And this is what I wanted to talk about It stays in Which is weird Because I don't know any other cameras that do that So it doesn't feel very good And then it pops back out When you advance the film Which is It's functional for the most part But I only started having issues now But I'm only 3 rolls in So that's not very much either The Rollei 35 AF uses LIDAR for auto-focus In practice it's pretty much the same As a lot of different point-and-shoots I find that it Thinks for a second and then is very confident So I haven't had any issues Where it's been hunting Or having trouble finding focus Even in the dark The LIDAR has been pretty good And I think pretty accurate as well Like I said earlier The auto-focus motor is very loud It's very 80s sounding Which you know I don't mind it But if you're used to something Like a point-and-shoot from the 2000s Or even the new Pentax 17 Which does have a focus motor It's so quiet That you might not even notice This is definitely very noticeable So yeah But pretty fast Pretty accurate So thumbs up for that Another major positive of the new Rollei 35 AF is Fully manual exposure Which is something that's pretty rare In an auto-focus compact With this 35mm 2.8 lens Those are very popular features But being able to choose Your shutter speed and your aperture Is pretty unique And it gives you In a point-and-shoot Sort of unprecedented levels of control I can't think off the top of my head Of another point-and-shoot That gives you physical dials For both shutter speed and aperture It's really nice And I actually found it very useful Especially in low-light situations Where I want to lock the shutter speed To something usable And then play with the aperture To get sort of my best creative choice And you get a little meter readout On this tiny OLED screen here It would be incredible To have it in the viewfinder But this OLED is pretty useful It also functions as your ISO selector And your frame counter So you get a little plus and minus thing In manual mode To tell you if you're over Underexposed or good It works pretty well It's pretty small But it's an OLED screen So even in this bright sun That's coming at me I can still read it Which is great If you're familiar with The original ROLE 35 This is noticeably bigger If you hold them next to each other If you don't It's not that noticeable I think this is a pretty good size For a point-and-shoot Fits in a bag nicely It is very brick-like But again that's owing to That ROLE 35 design heritage So it's a very stylish camera in general The fonts are nice The colors are good This paint The silver paint Is pretty thin On top of the metal It is metal You can see we've got some Scratches already on ours That's just from a few weeks Of handling the camera So I assume that'll happen as well It's available in silver and black The black is really handsome The silver is nice too But that black is really really sweet So you get your choice Speaking of the physical control dials We also have these purely cosmetic There's a film type indicator So color slide Color negative or black and white And then a notifier Of how many exposures Your roll of film has This is obviously a throwback To the older ROLE Which had both these dials as well These don't do anything They are a little plasticky And this exposure one for example Is already loose Sits right under your finger So you do touch it quite a lot So that's why this one's loose And this one isn't It's fine it's cute Just something of note But yeah they don't Actually do anything One more thing of note Is the advance lever And the rewind lever as well But mostly this advance lever It is stiff And a little grindy and ratchety And not very smooth I also found the rewind lever To be very stiff Compared to a lot of other cameras It's a bit of a shame Because the build quality on this Is pretty good in general But these things The film advance, the shutter These things that you're really Interacting with all the time Don't feel so great So even if this part Of the camera feels great The stuff that you're Actually handling Is a little lacking I would say I'd like to see them do it A little bit better in the next one So that's just a bit of info About the new ROLE 35 AF How it works The different functions of it How my experience has been with it Let's get the film out of the camera Process a few rolls And look at some photos I'll see you inside Hey, it's been a couple weeks Since what you just saw When we were out Shooting the ROLE 35 AF We've taken the time To develop the photos Shoot a couple more rolls I gave the camera to a few Other people in the office Scan, digitize, process And now we're here to take A look at the photos So we're going to do that first I have a few here Some curated photos And then some conclusions And we'll talk about How does this camera Fit into the market Who do I think it's for That kind of stuff at the end So let's get right to it So we're looking at a picture That I took right at the end Of the last segment Sort of down this man-made river In our Ronda-Tombela neighborhood And I think that the sharpness I would describe as good It's a 35mm 2.8 lens With Santa color film I think that the details Are pretty good It's relatively sharp At least the center Is definitely a little bit Sharper than the edges But not noticeably It's really not such a big deal One thing that we noticed consistently Are these sort of They look like hairs At the edge of the frame This is on both of our copies We have 2 review copies So these hairs Are part of the camera They're part of the Sort of light seals That are inside where a mirror Would be on an SLR But inside that little area there It only really shows up If you're scanning with borders At first we thought It was a pre-production issue But this one is a production camera And it has the same thing Something that you'll notice But not something That's particularly hard to get around I mean you can just crop it in So yeah let's look at The next photo here And again I mean I think this is maybe A little bit shaky because of me But the color rendition is very good And the Santa color can be Sometimes a bit of a difficult film To expose it Yeah has very strong colors at times I think it looks pretty neutral And pretty good And you can see there is Some very good details I think it's Zoom in a little bit more So that it starts to be A little bit less sharp But I think for what we're dealing with With a point and shoot like this The That's the kind of sharpness That you're gonna get It's not a world beating lens But it is totally adequate It is totally good I know Mint has made Some good lenses before I don't know how much Of a hand roll I had In designing this lens Or who designed it There are rumors but you know We don't know But yeah I think they did a great job It's a really great first effort especially I'd love to see where they go Developing this sort of thing A little bit further But yeah we'll just keep going through And there's some great colors here This is I think a good testament To the metering It's I assume Full like metering From the entire frame But you get A pretty good highlight area In the top And then some deep shadows as well And there's still A good amount of detail In both sections So that's really nice Even though you do have Manual controls Which is I would say Is one of the biggest pros Of this camera Being able to trust That automatic exposure system Is important And necessary I would say I think in this photo They are still present Those hairs At the edge of the frame But here they're very Difficult to notice So it might depend on Your settings And the Even the focus If that's picked up Just something to keep in mind As you're shooting This is a really nice one I think two almost took this Cause I would Remember taking this picture It's really beautiful I think it's a good show Of the lens Not really distorting very much There's a lot of very straight Vertical lines in this picture So if the lens was you know Poorly made or distorted You would notice it here And I think we're getting You know impressively Straight lines You almost took way better Photos than I did And these were all with Santa color Yeah Yeah cool Yeah I'm really impressed With this one too Just the edge to edge Sharpness here You can see I mean On this edge it's quite sharp And then on the other edge It's also quite sharp There might be a tiny bit Of light fall off In the corners here But it's really minor And again the The sort of hairs at the edge Are not noticeable in this In this frame You can see here a bit of Maybe ghosting going on In sort of the top of this These trees It's pretty minor And for a camera that Doesn't have a lens hood I think it's like Totally acceptable It is like I said earlier A bit of a shame That there's no mechanism For attaching accessories to this Such as a lens hood or filters It would be really nice I understand that The meter is not Coming through the lens So it would probably Throw off your exposure To have at least Colored filters But it would be nice To be able to put A UV filter or a skylight Or something creative Like a cross screen Or something like that So here you can see A little bit of Sort of how it handles Direct sunlight So a little bit of flaring Going up and down Which is pretty normal It's nothing too crazy Pretty much what you'd expect From a similar point and shoot Of the 90s or 2000s The coatings are doing A good job of minimizing The impact of that on the photo If this were a camera From the 60s If this were the original ROLE 35 It would probably even be worse So good job there Those were the photos Or some of them That we took with the ROLE 35 We did I guess altogether Probably six or seven rolls Between three employees here So we got a good chance I think to figure out How we feel about this camera See the results All of us had Our own experiences We had some things We agreed on And some things we disagreed on But yeah you can see The photos for yourself I think that they're Actually quite good I was on the whole Impressed with it But yeah let's start To talk about conclusions Because that's where It gets a little bit Less cut or dry About how we feel About this camera So as I said In the previous section What I don't like about this Is The stuff you interact with I think that the dials The levers The buttons Don't feel very good That's my opinion Opinions varied With the other people that used it We all agreed That the advanced lever Isn't very good And that the shutter button Isn't very good More than just me Had issues with the shutter button Sort of not working all the time Getting stuck Not triggering Even though it's pressed All the way in Various issues like that We all had issues With the frame counter Going way beyond What it was supposed to go to And I don't know What's causing that We didn't see anything Super weird with the negatives But for example My rolls went past 45 To 50, 55 Our camera men To illnesses went to 62 Which is just really Bizarre behavior And I believe Niko's also went to I think 48 Two different copies Two different cameras So it It isn't just that this one Is broken in some way Unless both of the ones We received were Slightly broken Which is possible And it's a shame Because The rest of it Is built very well The It's very handsome It's a great looking camera The materials feel good It's got a good heft to it But yeah The things that you're touching Are not the strongest part Of this camera The lens is Is very good As I said But the actual shooting experience Was a little lackluster for me And I think that That was echoed by The other people Who tested the camera as well But your mileage may vary You may It may fit you perfectly Looking back on my experience With this camera I think That The thing that held them back the most Is trying to stick To this Role 35 Design aesthetic I think in their efforts To emulate this Older style of camera They've brought A couple of things that We've moved past And some things that Maybe aren't As nice as they could be For example The film loading This advanced lever Which is Does not feel as good As the original but It feels like They tried to make it Ratchety On purpose even And it ends up Feeling very rough But the film loading especially I feel that We've moved past This whole The whole back Comes off And there's a plate And all that I think The situation with With hinged doors That we saw All through the 80s 90s, 2000s Even today Is vastly superior And I'm not sure Why they did this Other than Like I said earlier Sticking with that Role 35 Design aesthetic I would love to see What Mint is capable of doing Without the constrictions Of their Role 35 I think that they Do have a good history of Building interesting cameras With unique feature sets And so seeing them Break into the 35mm space On their own Would be really interesting to me But yeah This has been A bit of a tough review And we waited a long time To film this part Because we weren't sure How to discuss this Because I I just Don't think we had Such a positive experience with it And maybe you will Maybe you're a Role 35 purist And you You love that It looks like the old camera And that it has the dial Like the old camera And the advance lever Like the old camera In which case If you like it The pictures are great Like If you If you can get great pictures out of it That's What a camera should do Coming at it From the perspective of A new camera Entering the market I wish they had done Things a little bit differently So yeah That's been A bit about our time With the Role 35 It's a It's a complicated camera If you've picked one up And you love it That's That's great Leave a comment below And tell us about your time with it I mean I'm really happy That they brought it to market I think it's really cool That Role Wants to get involved And that Mint Is now Has the production capability To make cameras like this Like I said I'm really excited To see what they do next I'm really excited That we have multiple cameras Now coming out At a At a very high build quality With great lenses It's a really great thing For the community So yeah We'll be here Shooting all the new cameras As they come out And letting you know What we think about them Thank you so much for watching Leave a comment below Or a question or Whatever other thoughts you have About the new Role Or the Pentax Or any other cameras I'm Connor I'll see you in the next one Bye
