[rollei_list] Re: Rollei 35S, SE

I've finally tested my Rollei 35B.  My old black Leica II with the 1953
coated Summicron lens - coupled rangefinder - about the same size/weight,
same number of speeds along with my old but Quality Light Metric'ed Weston
Master V does the same job better I think.

To me the real competitor is my Retina II with rangefinder, 50mm Xenon
f2...  nice mavhine, and it looks so "quaint" to "moderns" that I can get
damn near any portrait I want with it.  Half my HARD CORE punk portraits
aredone with it...
