Leica is a marvelous camera for press-type work, fast moving action, street shooting, whatever. The Rollei is an equally marvelous camera for more comtemplative work, those times you want to go out and plan Ansel Adams. It is unparalleled in construction, optical quality and reliability. There is no conflict, the cameras are used for completely different types of shooting-- people who say it is hard to follow action with a rollei should be using their leica for that anyway. And the final prints from a Rollei even if shot on Tri-X film, will blow your mind. ctrentelman owns both, loves both utah In a message dated 3/25/1 8:06:33 AM, you wrote: > >Tony Salce wrote in part: >>I came across a lovely Rolleiflex 3.5F for a very reasonable priceand am >>thinking of purchasing it..
