Also, don't forget about the 44mm Ektar lens of the Kodak Signet 35. A bit 
limited on shutter speeds (max. is only 1/300), but excellent optics. I shot a 
few rolls of Kodakchrome 25 back in the days when that was easy, but now I'm 
just using it with TMax 100 (shot at about EI 50) -- great results.
   
  Nothing against the Rollei 35 (especially the ones with the Sonnar lens), but 
the Signet 35 is about as small as the Rollei 35, and has a rangefinder ;-)

  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.
