Austin, it's obvious the Rolleiflex is a better camera than others to me, otherwise I wouldn't be a Rollei user, but it's better for my photography, for the way I see the photography as activity, there are better cameras if you need to capture a lyon hunting in the Kalahari, a SLR film or digital is the best tool for that task. A Rollei 35 with a Sonnar 2.8 lens is as capable as any Leica to take an excellent photograph and even an unreliable Rollei SL 35 with a Planar Zeiss lens can take images from the highest quality if working right, but it does not mean that the Leica is not a very good camera Carlos 2009/11/9 Austin Franklin <austin.franklin@xxxxxxxxxxx>:> I would never even imaging comparing the Leica M series to any of the Rollei 35mm cameras.
