I really think it's almost obvious there are better
tools than a Rollei TLR for macrophotography, however
they do a good job with the Rolleinars and then it
seems we agree on this point.
I forgot to include Helmut Newton in my list.

Interesting photographs with the Rollei 35 Mike, it's
always pleasant to see in your monitor well scanned
and balanced slides, I liked the first nocturnal shot
very much.-

All the best
Carlos
