Godfrey, One of the considerations when I was deciding whether to get the Minox or Rollei was a concern that the collapsible Rollei lens could become sloppy and the alignment would suffer. The Minox seemed like a somewhat better solution to the problem, being more akin to the old folder concept. I had experience with the old Kodak Pony 135 which had a design similar to the Rollei and it was a problem. Have you experienced any problems in this area. The Olympus RC was a great little camera. I used to use it along with several of the half-frame models, and they sold me on the quality of Olympus glass. In fact if I had a desire to acquire an SLR (other than Contax), it would be the Olympus. Thank you for your comments. I thought I was possibly one only a few who had a near love affair with this type of camera. I can come out of the closet now. I do think that one of the reasons I am so sold on my CL is because it is about the same size of these cameras, but has the added ability to swap lenses (though actually I only mount the 90mm occasionally). I think that if you review those that actually use the CL, you may find that they are not as fragile as others assert. From the several threads on this group, I am not so sure the M series is not as fragile in some areas. A weak point of the M6 seems to be the rangefinder. Brian Levy, J.D.
