    Rollei 35AF: About the Project & First Impressions

    Sounds like a pretty great camera! The price makes it not for me, but I do hope it’s successful enough to merit a follow up.

    True. It’s tough to beat vintage prices, especially if the cameras are built exceptionally well and aren’t likely to break.

    Premium point-and-shoots are tricky. They can be more expensive than the 35AF and may break suddenly without a warranty. But these cameras are exquisite tools with features and build quality we may never reach again.

    But there’s a segment somewhere in the middle of folks excited enough about this camera and able to afford it. I also hope it’s large enough to fund further research and development for cameras like the 35AF.
