Thank you for your opinion. I love my Rollei 35S and often shoot it wide-open, though I do acknowledge that it works better when I am stone sober rather than drunk, what with the zone focusing and all.
The Petri 35 line are interesting but are hardly in the same league. Now, the real competitor to the Rollei 35S is the Werra III. Light, small, neat, and cool. And the three lenses are optical killers, as well.
