Thanks everyone for the quick responses,

being myself a Rollei TLR user i also thought the S had the edge in
usability for that same reason.  I'm not too keen on LED readouts
specially through a little viewfinder. I thought the needle on the top
on the camera would serve perfect for street work.

Eric, I have read many many times Steve's site about the 35 S, but he
is not too encouraging.


regards,

juan
