The price level is about the same as the Nikon 35TI and Contax T when they were released in the late 80's, early 90's. Adjusting for inflation the new Rollei is quite a bit cheaper, but it's still a bit of money for an advanced P&S. I think I'll wait and read a few reviews before contemplating a purchase. And then there are all those nice last century goodies that I haven't tried yet............

It does sound like it's going to be quite nice. And knowing how good Mint can make cameras, it's bound to be an interesting little thing.
But the price... sheesh.

This was option 2 for my postcard. I've just come back from a trip to photograph some of the old quarries in North Wales, but those snaps won't be ready for some time yet.

Shaun, that's a very nice shot, I wouldn't mind getting that in the next postcard round.

From Amateur Photographer: "Mint’s upcoming 35mm full-frame film camera, the Rollei 35AF, will be accompanied by a 5-element all glass lens with coatings on every side and a 35mm focal length, which is often a popular choice among street photographers. It will be priced around $650-$800 (around £520-£640).

The camera will also have a metal body and the following aperture options: F2.8, F4, F5.6, F8, F11 and F16. Additionally, the Rollei 35AF features an ‘exposure’ dial, a built-in light meter and an AUTO mode."

Looks kind of nice so I'll keep an eye out for reviews, though I tend to be a bit uneasy about necrobranding.

Bryan, Quincy is really a cute looking dog.
I took the Mamiya Super 23 on a saturday after work walk to stretch my legs, along the canal in Stoke, a couple of weekends back.

I printed a few extra so if someone didn't get one I can send another.

Same, I have a few spare ones. But I finally posted them only yesterday morning so don't expect them next Monday… Sorry, it took way longer than I wanted!

I finally got round to finishing a roll of Kodak Vision 250D which had been in an Olympus 35RC for about six months. I developed the film in DIY ECN2 chemicals

Must be your lucky day Francois, hope you used it well! People do those kind of deeds here as well, but here it could easily have been gone with the wind.

That's what usually happens to my mail... especially when we have an illiterate mailman (it happened more than once).
