[Leica] New album Rollei 35

[drodgers at casefarms.com (David Rodgers)]

Luis,

I like these images. I find them interesting and original. 

The Rollei 35 is quite fun to use. I, too, have a 35S with a 40/2.8
Sonnar. The camera sat idle for quite some time and the battery was
dead. The light meter still works. (Fortunately I still have some
mercury batteries for it). I lost the lens shade for it a while back.
But I still have red and yellow filters that fit it. It's a great camera
for bw. It just handles differently than most cameras, and that takes
some getting used to. But it's worth it. It's a wonderful little camera.

Hi all,
 
I've found and purchased a nice Rollei 35S and here I've posted the
firsts
trials, in my opinion the lens (Sonnar 2,8/40mm) give certain low
contrast,
the glass is clean and perfect, but when I compare with the Olympus
mju...,
initially I think that Olympus is better.
 
Here are a few examples, the film was T-MAX100
