It has served me well as a backup camera, always ready when other high priced name brand professional equipment hiccups. On an assignment in India when my Leica R sucumbed to moonsoon malaise, the Rollie kept on clicking and permitted me to complete my photo schedule on time. My art director was unable to tell the Rollei pictures from the Leica pictures. Sure, you have to guess at the distance and second guess on the exposure readings, but the 40mm Sonnar f2.8 lens is razor sharp and the body is rock solid. Also the flash syncs at all speeds, just the thing for fill-in under the bright Indian sun (when it isn't raining). LarryZ
