Re the Rollei 35 RF, the price is now similar to Adorama's at B&H as well - 
$600 for the body & $1200 for the kit. Prices at Adorama & B&H are about 
where new R2 prices are, which are now about $550 - where you can find them 
- & they are cheaper than European R2 prices. At this point the Rollei is a 
real bargain IMO. Better packaged than the R2, it comes with an extra year 
on the warrany, a deluxe camera strap, & a very readable, well printed 
manual. Most important is the fact that for folks enamored with the newly 
re-discovered 40mm focal length, the framelines in the Rollei are much more 
viewable than on the R3A because of the .7 magnification. The 40/2.8 Sonnar 
is excellent glass & the CV 40/1.4 Nokton offers the faster alternative.
