I use a number of Rollei SLRs, albeit not heavily - the SL35, a couple of 
SL35Es, an SL2000F and a 3003. My two favourites are the SL35 and the 3003, for 
opposite reasons. The lenses are excellent. The SL35 gives something like the 
TLR experience in terms of engineering quality.

Red,

Optically and mechanically, they hold up very , very well.  Financially the 
Rollei
35mm lenses take a real beating.

I don't think there is any such thing as "vintage Leica SLR" lenses.
