The camera was built like a tank and the lens was superb. The money was more important at the time Missed my Rollei SL2000F terribly but made up for it when I recently found a 3003 in great condition. Swapped my M2, a 3.5/35mm and a 2/90 mm lens for a chrome SL with three lenses and haven't missed it at all. Still have my Retina IIa and a couple of others, plus accessories and W/A Tele lenses. Lovely to play with but a horor to use.
