Hello Jan,

I think you are right they are both good choices that you have mentioned,
the Pentax I know from personal experience being an able performer, and they
are pretty compact too.

I think for the slight difference in size that you get with a compact SLR or
RF the advantages of using either far outweigh the best miniature 35s with
their inherent limitations and yet compact size.

The Rollei 35SE from an aesthetic viewpoint is beautiful.

Regards,

Marvin.

Marvin and E.

You could say the same thing about a Pentax MX with 40mm SMC lens or a
Contax Aria with a 45mm Tessar. Superbly portable and sharp.  Pentax is the
only company that really continues this tradition of portability in their
digital line (esp. with  the new "pancake" lenses) Both Olympus and Kyocera
missed the boat here.

all intents and purposes its as easy to travel with an M3 for example.

The M3 is a little bigger and heavier not so much that you would notice the
average man that is,

howerver, the advantages of a M3 far out wieght the negatives in comparison
to a Rollei 35.

I would love to be proven wrong by viewing good portaits or documentary
taken with a 35.

To each his own, of course, but the R35 can't be easily dismissed as
mountain climber camera.
