Which probably about doubles the size of the camera (where do you put it?
The accessory shoe is on the bottom, after all...). I could pick any 70s
Canympus or Minoika rangefinder instead, and it would be smaller.
Maybe it is due to the fact that I mostly worked with SLRs all my life, but
I find it hard to estimate 2.5m +- 5 cm correctly without a meter. If I had
to get a 35 again, I'd go with the Tessar.
