My collection of super-compact 35mm cameras was recently greatly expanded when a freind of mine gave me his entire collection of cameras! So 3 Rolleis (35, 35 S and 35 LED) and 1 Minox (EL) were added to the Olympus XA and Petri Color 35 D I already owned.
The Rolleis, particularly the 35 and 35 S, are gorgeous, beautifully made, little cameras. But ergonomically they are... well... something of a challenge! Practically every single control is in a different place from almost every other camera, and they have the most diabolical battery compartment (inside the film chamber!!) ever invented LOL Just as well the batteries don't need changing very often.
Having said that I recently ran a film through the Rollei 35 and I found it to be much nicer in practice than I was expecting.
