Very nice images Carlos and indeed very sharp as well! I have learnt a lot
about the Rollei 35 from Daniel and you and the other comments from other
users. There is a mint 35S for sale locally for C$600, but I think I will wait
for a deal, as with many of my camera's and equipment it is a want not a need!
A friend of mine has 35S and also talks very highly of it. I just found a
Pentax 110 with a series of lenses for a good price so having fun with a
miniature SLR.

Hi Louis and thanks for your remarks.
."... It focuses by means of the front element only, you have to guesstimate (I
now use an external Voightländer rangefinder intended for their folders) and
even if you can get it sharp enough in the center, the edges will always be
less than optimal, and the "edges" start about halfway out from the center...".
I respect very much Daniel's opinion about the Roei 35 Tessar and I liked very
much his picture with the camera too, however I'd like to comment my own
experience with the Rollei 35 Tessar (I also has the 35 S Sonnar but it's a
differnet story), it was never a practical problem to me the first element
movement for focusing ,, I have several samples in my Flickr gallery taken with
the Rollei 35 Tessar and I can't perceive a practical difference between the
center and the edges, all these photogrphas were printed at the 13x18cm size
and look similar regarding the images in the screen. I know to focus moving the
entire lens is better for the image quality, it happens with the 35S, but I
can´t see the difference for usual commercial print sizes 10x15 cm or 13x18cm.
