             Hoppy - for many years the Contax T2 was my constant
companion - never failed to deliver - these

Luis, what about the Contax (Kyocera) T3. The lens is a lovely 2.8 35 Sonnar
design. The exposure system is very good, the ergonomics are great. The lens
retracts fully into the metal body. You have to accept that AF is the
default, though, so not very classical.

Hi all,

Some days ago I was reading B.D. recommendation to carry always a camera on
your pocket, I'm agree but usually I never do it. Why?, for me a Leica M is
a little too big, a Leica IIIF is just too nice.

I'm thinking on different possibilities and I would like to know your
experiences and opinions.

First at all, I'm "classical" and I prefer a film camera, as you know, I
shot normalIy B&W. I think that could be good options the following ones:
Leica CL (is still too big and maybe too expensive), the small Rollei 35 (I
think with Tessar), Leica Minilux (I think is better the model with Summarit
2,4/40mm than the zoom with a slower lens), Olympus XA, Minox ....

Any recommendations?

Thanks in advance
Saludos desde Barcelona
Luis
