Dirk et al.

I am both amused and annoyed at your fawning adulation of the Rollei-Viogt 35mm SLRs. They never were able to equal the Japanese Canon or Nikons. I have had a Nikon F2A und F3 with many lenses since Pontius was a Pilot. Both with motor drives. Never ever had a problem or lost an exposure. Infinitely better than any Leica R that I have ever had.

Granted that some of the Rollei-Zeiss lenses were PFG, but not an order of magnitude better than the Nikkor lenses at a
much lower price.

So use those Rollei 35mm SLRs if you must, but exclude me out of any interest.

Jerry

When the SL35E came out,

I was in a traditional Photoshop selling a lot of Rollei products.

The owner came over, said to me:
Hey, I have the new SL35E, THAT IS A CAMERA!
He opened a box, fresh from factory, took the camera, released the shutter

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expensive at the time, the SL 35M and ME designs were outdated (it does not 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.
