The Rollei 35 is one of the best kept secrets in 35mm photography. It is a very quirky camera. The biggest drawback is no rangefinder: you have to estimate the distance to your subject and/or set a large depth of field. Not the best for low light. Also, the film loads upside down, so the frame numbers turn out  in reverse order. For some photographers, though, these quirks are well worth it. The compact size is great for spontaneous shots. Fully manual settings, and a Zeiss lens comparable to a Leica costing hundreds, if not thousands more, make this a great camera. Although collectors are becoming more interested in these cameras, you can still find one for $200-300 used.
