My third Rollei 35, the model 35S with the Sonnar 2,8/40mm; attached is a Watameter rangefinder that is not a joy to use, but useful when shooting the Sonnar wide open.

Exploring non-digital equipment
Paimex 35-AF
A nearly 100% clone of the Konica C35AF2, pimped with a handgrip. Like at the Konica, the photographer can enjoy looking at the distance chosen by the AF system after the photo was taken on a scale on the front side.
The lost Cameras (VIII, Minox 35 PL)
Since the beginning of my relationship with photographic gear in 1979 I lost lots of equipment.
Some cameras died, some were sold, some I gave away as gifts. Luckily the photos survived.
The Minox 35 PL has all the advantages and disadvantages of the Minox 35 series, but features a program AE; that means, you have no clue what aperture the camera choose and if you can use a certain DOF. The camera I owned had a extremely sensible shutter. Everytime the camera touched something a little bit harder it needed a service. So I sold it.

Rollei 35 (II) Color
Before shooting only Polypan F in my Rollei 35, I used it with color film. Here are some photos from 2008, 2009 and 2010. All films were developed at home in the Tetenal C-41 kit.
