I forgot to mention, it has a built-in motor drive and 
an eye-level finder too (and interchangeable film backs).

Sounds like medium format, but it isn't.

The Rollei 3003 has 3 shutter release buttons, right, 
left and on top.

THis makes it quite suitable for one-handed photography.
When you rest it on the palm of your hand (right or 
left and in AE mode), the ball of your thumb operates 
the shutter release, index finger the focusing ring and 
middle finger the aperture - the camera sets the 
shutter speed.

Cheers
Douglas
