But also my Olympus XA; which has fallen by the wayside. I think of my Rollei 35 as my compact Leica. I don't say pocket because it is amazingly heavy and wont work in any pocket I've got. But will work in a small pouch on my belt. My Rollei 35 is original German which is just a coincidence. It's got a 3.5 Tessar. Here is a shot from it: http://www.markrabiner.com/ImagePages/PortlandRollei35.html By the way the meter works ok as long as i put these Wein batteries in them which i think Bob Shell helped invent.
