As the most expensive 126 camera ever produced, the SL26 boasts such features as TTL metering with match-needle indicator, split-image rangefinder, hot shoe, automatic film speed sensing, cable release socket, and tripod socket. The lens accepts bayonet-mount (type I) filters and accessories, and 1/3 f-stops can be set. The interchangeable lenses are actually front elements; three lens elements remain in the camera body, with the shutter and diaphragm sandwiched between two of them. Rollei produced two other lenses especially for this camera, an f/3.2, 28 mm wide angle and an f/4, 80 mm telephoto.

Production was begun in Germany but later moved to Rollei's Singapore plant. Unlike every other 126 camera I'm familiar with, the wind lever can still be swung even after the film has been advanced to the next exposure, though doing so will not advance the film further. Since the CdS cell is constantly powered, you'll want to keep the lens covered or remove the PX625 battery to avoid draining it prematurely. At only 4" wide, this is the smallest of the 126 SLRs.

Oddly, for such an expensive camera, there is no self-timer or battery tester.
