Yes, I know, I am becoming obsessed with Zeiss lenses... I bought a Bessaflex to be able to use M42 Carl Zeiss Jena MC lenses and the experience has been fantastic. Amazing value for money. I am now hooked with those lenses and I would like to repeat the experience. Yashica/Contax cameras have been discontinued recently, but it is still a very expensive system. Instead, I have now discovered that the Zeiss and Rollei QBM lenses for Rollei SL and Voigtlander VSL series have very reasonable prices in the used market. Now, the problem I have are not the lenses but the Rollei/Voigtlander bodies. I have read that the Rollei/Voigtlander SLR bodies were not great. Can anybody help me to choose the most reliable Rollei/Voigtlander model? The only body I have completly discarted is the SL-35, because you can only use stop-down metering. My first choice would have been the SL-35E (or Voigtlander VSL-3E) but I have read that it was a new design with a lot of bugs and that nobody repairs them now.
