They are still in demand because they are good cameras Roger, and about the flash the Rollei 35 has the shoe on the camera edge, you only need to shoot the camera putting it backward, BTW you need a flash according the camera size. The Contax T3 key features must be re-set after every exposure; autofocus gets confused easily and they need batteries, the Contax T cameras are bigger than the Rollei 35, the Rollei 35 enters into normal shirts or pants pockets. The Leica Minilux has the E02 shutter error problem, suddenly it dies, it's unreliable,expensive,loud startup, focussing and "firing" noise; battery hungry, very small viewer with only 2 leds as indication (focus, flash, out-of-range exposure).(Comments from users).- Carlos --- Roger Wiser <rwiser@xxxxxxxxxxx> escribió: > Jerry, interesting comments.
