It was a wondered camera and now I've bpought it at a decent price, as I say is a toy to have on your pocket, but anything as an M.

Hi Luis, I enjoyed the bookshop pictures, they make me want to visit it.;-). I have both a Rollei 35 and the Leica CL. Both take fine pictures within their respective limits, but the Rollei is far more robust. A brick, if you will. I've had mine since 1973. It's almost always been in my pocket, has fallen a few times, looks dented and worn, never been serviced, and still takes a fine picture. The only things I ever replaced were a lens cap (cracked) and soft case (worn out). I've had the CL for four years. It had a CLA a year before I bought it, needed another CLA and major shutter service a year ago, and just recently after a small knock, the meter gave up the ghost. I'm not planning on repairing it, instead I'll carry a Gossen Digisix with me when I use it. But it's clearly not up to the usual Rollei or Leica quality. More Minolta than Leica. Although my 30 year old SRT appears to be built stronger. Just my 2 cents worth.
