the 1957 Wide-S with a 35mm f2 made of 8 elements....  The Olympus is the

Andre,
Unlike the Olympus 35-S of the 1970s, the 35-S of the 1950s had no meter.
Did the Wide-S have a meter?

Sorry Paul, I was out for the weekend but glad to see Keith gave you a complete picture on meter and CRF. Personnally I don't care about having a meter for these old RF cameras. I want a stable shutter, I take note of the tested speeds for a camera and write it done on the camera (well, on a tiny piece of paper scotch taped on the camera) and use either f16 rule or an external meter.

Smallest 35/2 rangefinder? By very little. But the Olympus weights 30% more...

Hexar 137.5 x 76.5 x 64.5 495g
Wide-S 125 x 80 x 65 650g
