Wayne,
Naaaah! Can't help it. I have to be honest; the old R'35s are simply in a
class of their own. They are to 35mm rangefinders what the OM-1 is to 35mm
SLRs. Compact/handy - mechanical - great design and very, very well-made ...
largely of metal. In all the years I had mine I don't even recall using the
meter on it. And it was dropped from a great height (about 20 feet) down the
side of a rooftop - and still functioned fine for over ten years.
Only thing is, the cost of the German made ones is going through the roof -
and even the ones made in Singapore are getting up there. ...... But I have
a plan ;)
