I use my shirt pocket to carry the Rollei 35 or my
pants pocket, in general the shirt pocket if I use a
pull-over, it helps with the camera weight.
I know Marc does not want comments about photographs
very much in the list, but we are discussing about a
Rollei camera features now, I don't think this is a
very good portrait but it is a pretty sharp portrait
taken with the Rollei 35 Tessar very close to the
subject, it's a full frame image or almost full frame
image with available natural light through a window(
please see the image largest size):

BTW, the Rollei 35 is not my preferred camera to take
portraits, but it works if necessary or funny.

All the best
Carlos
