Well put, Slobodan. And right you are. I would have given the same 
advice myself.

I'm not new to MF, my Bronica served me well for lets see... it was 14 
years ago I bought it new with a 110mm Macro. I picked up the 40mm a 
year later, after having learned to use the 110mm pretty well first. 
Also an excellent suggestion I heeded then - start with one lens and 
really get to know it before picking up another!

The Rollei does take a bit of getting used to, I find it all too easy 
to leave things on auto. Getting lazy I guess ;-)
Still, the images are improving noticably with each roll taken, and I'm 
very satisfied with my choice to trade the Bronica for Rollei.

I'm still looking for an inexpensive S-A 40/3.5 btw, if you come over 
one.
