Re: Limited
It's quite a nice standard lens on APS-C. I don't like the full frame angle of view that much. bill On Sat., Jul. 31, 2021, 3:35 p.m. , wrote: > Went to a local camera store today.

Re: Dilemma
Ah, a Rollei 35S Silber. That's a real collectible, and a fine little camera. The Rollei 35S Silber was produced in a very limited run during 1979 to celebrate the one millionth Rollei 35S produced. It was never offered with a retail price or advertised, being offered to dealers at about $155 cost with dealers supposed to be offering it to their best Rollei customers at whatever markup they felt was appropriate. The original set included a certificate that, when mailed in, would deliver to the customer an engraved badge that fit in the little section on the back in the leather that you popped off the camera as a commemorative notion. The Silber also included a special case and certificate in the original box. 1500 of them were distributed in the United States, and the distributor's note to dealers included the notation "Limited quantity, offer never to be repeated." I had one of these for a while, one of five or six Rollei 35 cameras I enjoyed. In all ways other than the commemorative notion and the special finish and color, it is a standard Rollei 35S and works beautifully. I sold it somewhere around 2008 or so when I divested myself of my over-abundance of things Rollei 35; I kept my favorite black Rollei 35S only, and still have and use it occasionally. The Canonet is another fine little camera but I have no personal connection to that or any of the other raft of decent, small, fixed-lens RF cameras of that era. There were a lot of them, most of them pretty good performers.

Went to a local camera store today. They’ve got a black 31/1.8. $650. I drooled a little, but not on the lens.
