It is lighter than the Rollei 35 (320g vs 225g) because it is plastic
made, it is batteries dependent, it is not 100% manual, the XA is not
so robust like the Rollei 35, it could be a climbing camera for hills
and the Alps, but not for the Andes or the Himalayas.
Alfred Gregory carried a Rolleiflex TLR (about 1000g) up to the South
Col in the Everest at about 8000m (26000 feet)
