Rollei 35AFM - Street Photography


Recommended Posts

I just purchased a new Rollei 35AFM. This is a high-end point and

shoot camera which I've read is manufactured by Fuji camera with a

Rollei coated 38mm lens. I just received my first roll of photos and

I'm very impressed with the results. I did own a Contax T3 and sold it

because it was too small for my hands. The optics on the T3 were

outstanding, but the ergonomics did not appeal to me. Examining my

photo's, I'd stack the Rollei lens against my Leica Summicron 50mm

lens. Of course there is limited manual control with the Rollei, but

for a point and shoot, it's well worth checking out. It was only

$299.00 (US) purchased new from B&H Photo in New York...The camera

makes for a great "Street Photography" tool.

I bought the same camera late last year and have been very impressed with the sharpness & contrast of the results. The 38mm lens can feel a little limiting at times, but it's worlds away in quality from that of any other point & shoot I've used. And best, it goes with me a lot more places than my SLRs do...
