I bought my first SLR when I was in High School and it was a Rollei SL35m. The camera was junk, but I had the 50mm planar, 135mm Tele-tessar, and 200mm Tele-tessar, all of which were great lenses. I bought them in the late seventies or early eighties around the demise of Rollei's popularity. The dealer practically gave me the lenses. Now on topic, I bought a Leica screw mount kit from a neighbor a year later, and stupidly traded it for a new Rollei SL35e. It consisted of a Model IIIc, 50mm elmar,90mm F4, Tower leica clone, and a nikon 50 as well. When I bought an M4 about a year ago, I did it because I remembered carrying this IIIc around school, stuffed in my pocket and loaded with Tri-x. It was a very convenient camera and took good pictures. I probably should have kept it as the SL35E turned out to be junk as well, but not as bad as the SL35m.
