I would think that a screw mount Leica would be better than the M series for this kind of thing.
I do not own a SML but I do own an M2 and a Zorki 1( a copy of the Leica II) The Zorki is much more portable than the M2, I use it with a Russian collapsible lens. While I don't think it would fit in a shirt pocket. But it does fit, albeit not with grace, in my back pocket. It takes good pictures if you can live with a lagging shutter. It cost about $50. With either Leica you get a rangefinder but no meter..

I always disliked the shirt pocket adage to the camera, and that's why I 
mentioned practically for all intents and purposes its as easy to travel with 
an M3 for example.
The M3 is a little bigger and heavier not so much that you would notice the 
average man that is, howerver, the advantages of a M3 far out wieght the 
negatives in comparison to a Rollei 35.
I would love to be proven wrong by viewing good portaits or documentary taken 
with a 35.

As much as I like the Rollei 35, it is way too heavy to fit into my shirt 
pocket (+300g)

The Rollei 35 is an excellent travel companion when
the travel main purpose is not to take photographs
(I'd use the TLR if the travel purpose is to take
photographs), you can put the Rollei 35 into yur shirt
or pants pocket, it has a very accurate Cds coupled
lightmeter and then you don't need an external one, BTW you have your images registered in full frames 
35mm film, no problem with files formats and diske
space.

I don't think that analogy is true. I am a fan of
the Rollei TLR and with good reason, its the best or
one of the best 120 ever made. I don't think the
same can be said of the 35 in the 135 format.
However, I can imagine for applications such as
mounaineering it is excellent.
Please also note that the 35 is not used in a wide
range of photo applications, compare this with
Rollei TLRs which are used widely with applications
other than close up.
This is the heart of my point.

Gee Marv, you just did the equivalent of walking
into a biker bar shouting something about those dumb noisy two wheelers you have to run over all the time.

I will concede that several people insist they are

the zone focus on a Rollei 35 as most are with RF
on other cameras, 
something I am not and which obviously clouds my
view of the 35 
with its limiting zone focus
In order to answer your question Mark Rabner there
would be Little 
point in me discussing the merits of the 35 if I

had not tried one.

Richard on a general level taking into account
personal styles, I 
wouldn't say
useless but I would say very limiting, making
them a speacilist 
tool for
certain types of photography static subjects and

the like.

And on a personal level depent upon my
photographic preferences I 
would say
yes USELESS.
I also don't think the 35 is a great ergonomic
design a thought 
echoed by
Steven Gandy on the Camera Quest website.
Thanks,
Marvin.


Have you shot a roll with one?
