[rollei_list] Re: Rollei 35S, SE

Eric,
I have used at least two cameras with the 47mm f2.0 Ektar. The Kodak Bantam Special and the Kardon. 

Both produced slides that were sensational.

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.
