Shooting a Rollei 35 was what made me decide to get a Leica rangefinder
camera and give it a try.  I often carried both cameras with me at the same
time. 
Very basic to my work has been a twin lens Rollei which was the very best
model a 2.8 f with a Zeiss lens.
I still have both cameras. If I ever shoot another roll of film I think it
will be with the 2.8f.

I also carried my Leica M6 with my Rollei 2.8f twin lens at the same time in
the same bag.
