Thanks for the info. I was aware of the limited production but not of the allocations. I’ve see a variety of speculations about the specifics of the anniversary (75th, 1Mth, 2Mth) but that’s sort of immaterial as it remains an anniversary model. Godfrey DiGiorgi wrote: > Ah, a Rollei 35S

I don't have the broad experience with different cameras that many folks on this list do, but my Canonet QL15 GIII is my sentimental favorite, and the only film camera that I still occasionally use in the digital era. The lens is probably better than you're anticipating.
