2013/7/3 <Dirk-Roger.Schmitt@xxxxxx>: > Carlos, >you are really nicely reviving the Rollei SL35 series... ;-) Dirk: :-) , the Rollei SL 35 series offered excellent lenses; Carl Zeiss and most Rolleinar lenses were first rate optics; some cameras were too expensive at the time, the SL 35M and ME designs were outdated (it does not mean they were bad cameras necessarily), the E cameras, when they appeared in the market, had some features you couldn't find in the best Japanese cameras but the problems were prices, marketing and reliability, some products needed more maturation before to be introduced into the market.
