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...
