Robert:
          I don't have a Contax T and then I only
could compare the "official" sizes,I have a Rollei 35
with Tessar lens (and soon a Sonnar version, I hope); 
these are "official" sizes:
Contax T : 98mm(W)66.5mm(H)32.5mm (D)
Contax T3:105mm(W)63mm(H)30.5mm (D) 
Rollei 35: 97mm(W)60mm(H)32mm (D)
Sources: Kyocera for the Contax and F&H Rolleiwerke
for the Rollei 35.

The Rollei 35 wins clearly considering the official
sizes.
I never had problems putting the R35 in my pockets, I
put it with the soft case and then there is no way to
have problems with the lens.
As I wrote previosly, the user taste has to do very
much for the topic, I love the Rollei 35 because it is
a %100 mechanical camera, I love the solid
construction and the weight for its size, I have no
problem with the Rollei 35 focusing system, in fact I
enjoy using it and I like the fact the Rollei 35 does
not need battery to work, except for the lightmeter.
BTW I understand why the Contax T and T2 and T3 are
cameras attracting several users, but I prefer the
Rollei 35.

All the best
Carlos
