I just bought my wife an old Rollei B35 which she loves. Be nice to own a
new one though - an everyday run of the mill camera that doesn't look like
one of those Russian gold plated, fake alligator skinned Leica II copies.

I find this catering to the collectors really annoying. How about a sensibly
updated Rollei 35S with a miniaturized coupled rangefinder, and provision
for a small digital back...) for the normal mortal? Who needs some tacky
Urushi version ?
I even think the nostalgic nameplates on the current FX, FW and FT are out
of place. The GX had it right with its slightly modernized script and the
cool blue background.
Embarassing to see this trend coming out of the country which originated
"timeless" Bauhaus design (form follows function, bla bla...) etc.
Someone tell the folks at F&H. So there.

I had commented last January or February F&H will manufacture a new
Rollei 35 during 2007; a limited number of 200 cameras will be
released with Urushi lacquered finish and gold-plated components,100
in green and 100 in red. Both camera models will be given the production
numbers 1=96100
(please don't ask about the price...). There are more news about F&H
from February-March 2007 here:
