On the move, Wenceslas Square, Prague. Rollei 35S, Sonnar 40mm f2.8, Tri-X. In this photo, I was moving and the kids were moving, so it’s not as sharp as it would be if we were standing still. But at f.8 there was enough depth of field to make the photo “sharp enough.”

Any focusing tips for the Rollie 35?
Figure out your stride length and for close in estimate how many steps away your subject is. Or use your wingspan/height as a way to estimate reasonably easily.

Bingley. Magnificent demonstrations of the power and the capabilities of the Rollei 35S. On the basis of your pictures, it is difficult to justify carrying anything bigger and heavier, not to mention much more expensive, for street photography. The Rollei 35S has long been my "most difficult to get rid of" camera. It is such a joy to use and yields such beautiful results.

Thank you, Paul, for your kind words!! Obviously I agree completely with you about the Rollei 35... in fact, I have three of them! The Sonnar and Tessar versions of course render differently, as one would expect, but each in its own way is an excellent performer. And I'm increasingly comfortable with the 40mm focal length. On this trip to Prague and Berlin (the Berlin pics are coming), I used a Rollei 35 in conjunction with a Leica CL digital camera for when I wanted a wider field of view or was shooting indoors. These cameras made a very compact and lightweight kit. I used a Rollei 35 w/ Tessar lens for color film, and the Rollei 35S for black and white (but never carried both cameras at the same time).
