It features a 6-element, 80mm Planar lens, providing ample medium format film enjoyment with its superb rendering. It includes a convenient built-in coupled exposure meter. The viewfinder hood is detachable, and the focusing screen is a full matte type.
Compatible with Bayonet III accessories.

There is minor black paint loss around the Rollei badge and tripod mount area, and slight rubbing marks on the lens board, but there are no prominent scratches or dents. It shows minimal signs of use overall and is quite clean.
In 2021, it underwent adjustments and inspections by a specialized technician, including shutter, film counter, aperture and shutter dials, winding mechanism, and other parts. The exposure meter also shows correct values. The shutter and other mechanisms operate smoothly and reliably.
The lens, a 6-element Planar, shows minor coating marks typical for this type, but there are no noticeable wiping marks, presenting clean glass overall.
