When F&H took the Voigtländer assets from Zeiss IKON's hands in the 
early seventies, Voigtländer had a 135 SLR electronic shutter, and F&H 
didn't - its SL350 was all mechanic. 

Of course, F&H then developed the shutter into a product. Jan 
Böttcher's page <http://www.janboettcher.de/MuseumR3Kam.html#KAMERA> 
has drawings from F&H's patent application - along with Rollei 35 
design mockups, since we talked about the 35 recently.

Sorry if I haven't been clear enough - the listed properties

were those of the SL35E, which the older SL35 lacked.

Apart from that - violent agreement.  :)
