Nice thread and photos all around. Just bought a second Rollei 35S. Thinking of using them in tandem for a while, until my back heals from years of photographic abuse. A silver one for colour, a black for b&w.
Interesting idea.
...but as much as I love my Rollei 35, how about a different second camera that compliments the Rollei?
- Maybe a digital, for color and telephoto?
- Maybe something with a 28 mm lens? For example, Nikon Lite Touch, Minolta TC-1, etc.? This would add automatic capability too, for those quick grab shots.
- Maybe a light SLR with a tele zoom? (ex. Nikon FG + Vivitar 75-205/3.8) This is bordering on heavy, compared to an R35, but adds a lot of capability.
- Half frame?

I've been shooting a lot lately with a Kiron zoom lens on my Nikon FG. Looking in my Flickr Photostream, I can spot right away the Rollei 35 shots, as they are a lot more contrasty. (due to only having a 4 element lens)

Here are my two favorite shots from my last roll. (click for full size)
Fomapan 400, Tessar.
For the second one, I stopped by a forest preserve on the way in to work one morning, and got down in the reeds and muck in my dress clothes. Had to clean up in the bathroom a bit when I got to work. ^_^

I took my Rollei 35S with me to Wrocław, Poland, for a conference in December. Here are a few shots I took in my free time.
