Here are some shots taken with my newly aquired Rollei 35 40/3.5 which I got for Christmas.

I have to say that I'm really pleased with it. It fits very neatly into a pocket and I have been carrying around constantly since I got it. The image quality seems pretty good to. The only fault is an optomistic meter which I have to set 1 stop slower using the ASA dial and even then you have to make sure the camera is pointing down to mid tone to get nailed exposures.

That's not London Bridge. This is London Bridge. 😀
Again the Voigtlander 25mm Snapshot-Skopar on a Leica MDa.

LOL- Just for the record, mine is of the 1831 built London Bridge. It was dismantled and shipped to Arizona in the 1960's.
Ruby Monkey, That Voigtlander 25mm Snapshot-Skopar does a really nice job. I like the tonal range.
 
There is some really nice photography from these scale focus cams. Now I'm really wanting that Rollei 35. rjbuzzclick's excellent photo of the cadi doesn't help. I like the processing, too.
 
Hey Everyone,

These are some really great pics! rjbuzzclick, great shot of the caddy; it had me looking up info on the Rollei 35.

I am new to the scale focus crowd. Here are some shots from my newly acquired Minolta Hi-Matic C.

Testing the self timer on an XA-2 I had found at a local thrift store. I sold it, thinking scale focus camera's were too hit and miss, but have since found a very nice XA with the rangefinder and am finding it to be not really much of an advantage. I think I'm spending too much time squinting through the finder, fussing over minutia and not focusing on essential ambiance and mood.
