Rollei-35 is very good, but quite expensive and the best lens is only f2.8

I will echo Jim's comments on the Rollei and emphasize that handling is
very different than anything else out there. Siddiq, if you are finding
that the handling of the Olympus is causing you to miss shots, I have
feeling that you will be disappointed with the Rollei as it is a 'little
fiddley' in use. (As a friend of mine once put it.) That being said it
is very compact, super quite, and very inconspicuous. I like mine a lot,
but it is not for everybody.
One thing to note is that a lot of the older compact RFs have relatively
dim viewfinders which have gotten worse with age. At the very least you
will probably want to have a CLA done for this reason alone.
