Luis,

If your pocket is bigger than a shirt pocket, a Leica IIIc or IIIf  
with a collapsible Elmar will fit easily. A good user Leica should be  
as cheap as a Rollei 35 and far less expensive than the Contax T3.  
Remember that with user Leicas, the price plummets when the vulcanite  
flakes off.
