Pray, calm down, Marvin. The Rollei 35 was
intended as a "vestpocket camera" and not as a
primary tool for serious photography. Use it as
it was intended, and you will be happy. Try to
use a Rollei 35 in place of, say, a Contax II,
and you will be sadly disappointed. But, then,
you will be bitterly upset if the job calls for a
bandsaw and you show up with a lathe. Horses for
courses. Understand the mission intended for the
Rollei 35 and use it in that mission and you will
be most happy. It is a "second camera" only for
folks using lesser breeds such as Nikon as their primary cameras.
