initially I think that Olympus is better."

Luis, I also have a Rollei 35SE.  For a while I felt that the lens wasn't
great but I finally realized that I had trouble holding the camera steady
because of the unfamiliar ergonomics.  Guessing the focus can also be a
problem in low light with slow film (you were using TMX100).  I eventually
learned to hold the camera a different way and my pictures now look fine.
But the Olympus mju does have a really contrasty lens, at least the mju ii
does.
