best compact rf with fast lens

[Calzone]

Didn't vote.

My current small fast compact RF'er is a black paint Leica II (Model D) with a 35/1.8 Mikkor in LTM. I use my Zeiss 25/28 external VF'er and can easily imagine 35mm framing by doubling the difference between the 25 and 28 framelines.

I like fixed lens cameras... rf's in particular.

Voted for the Konica auto s3.
The Yashica GX is actually the best one of all but not in the poll.
The canon QL17iiiis nice but has a poorly designed shutter button imo. causes lots of motion.
The S3 and GX are smooth operators with crispy sharp lenses and compact bodies.
GX is my fav for being aperture priority rather than the S3's shutter priority automatic

I went through most of the fixed lens rf cameras and didn't like them. It seemed to me that the copies that I had had all reached or passed their life expectancies and showed their wear and age. (eg wobbly lens, burnt out meters)

Because of my experiences, my vote also goes to the Leica CL with 40 Summicron C for most compactness, or CV40f1.4 for most speed, or Canon 50f1.8.

Another vote for the Yashica GX. Very nice, Aperture preferred, and I like the 40mm view. Parallax correction.

I can't figure out how to vote, but can state I think the Oly 35RD is the best.

Poll's closed, Bill.

Poll's closed, Bill.

So, that's why I couldn't vote!

Thanks
