When the Rollei 35 came out it was much smaller than most the half frame
cameras being made.
A life support system for a 35mm cassette.
It kept the film dark.
And you'll put out a real Zeiss Tessar 3.5 (my version) or Sonnar (great for
submarines) 2.8 on latter versions.

Like the Olympus Om1 it sent them all back to the drawing boards.

And of course now the camrea companies all know about this already with
their insidious marketing schemes. Designed to make you spend money. On
stuff you already have. But not so compact.
