I have a Contax T3 (I was very impressed by my son's, so I bought one for myself), and size for size there is no difference between that and the Rollei 35 series. The Contax of course has autofocus, auto/program exposure, TTL flash and auto film wind. It does have a slightly shorter focal length lens being a 35mm Sonnar rather than 40mm for the Rollei. I took out the Contax and my Rollei C35 for a comparative 'test'. I have not finished the films yet though. The Contax with program setting and flash becomes more widely useable as a 'pocket' camera size for size and I guess that Rollei could have continued their R&D and produced a comparable camera had they had the inclination...
