I owned several of the older 35', made in Singapore and Germany, and I
thought that they took great pictures with excellent contrast but you had
to estimate distances which was not problem for me. I thought they were a
" quirky" camera. Not the easy to load, flash on the bottom , etc. while it
was a small camera it did not really offer a small camera convenience.

So who wants to tell me why the little Rollei 35 cameras are getting such unbelievable prices on EBay, and still cost as much as a decent SLR at camera stores? Are they really all that great?
I recently bought, new, a Rollie Giro 90 point&shoot, so my wife has something to use, and so that I can take a camera with me when space and time are a big concern. I took some ok shots, 1 roll just to see what I was playing with, and I have to confess I wasn't much impressed with it's light metering decisions. It seems very limited to certain situations - but maybe that's just point&shoot. I got it for a mere $90 including shipping... and I see now that they're even cheaper.
Any comments? Tips for P&S?
Thanks to all you who gave me recommendations for service/repair shops. I'm going to give Krikor (Krimar, NJ) a shot - I spoke to him on the phone, and sounded like decent fellow. I'll report my experience.
