    Kept my dad’s tiny rollei 35 rangefinder. His shooting experience with it seemed less than pleasant. Lots of grumbling and fiddling with the controls and swearing at the lens cap that didn’t fit. I figured his “man hands.” were too large for such a compact instrument. Well… I was wrong. It’s the camera. Nice looking, small, lots of features. But it’s a horrible, horrible, HORRIBLE little thing. So disappointed! He had a smaller Minox that even a kindergartner could shoot. Don’t know what happened to it. I think he might have given it to my older sister.

      I owned a Rollei 35 B for a while, a simpler version of the 35. It was such a pain that I can only imagine how much worse the 35 must be!
