My dad just gave me his Rollei 35 SE in mint condition (with flash, and still has a working mercury oxide battery). Two questions: 1) What's the best (cheapest) replacement for the battery once this one dies out? 2) Any tips on how to zone focus

Got my first roll from my Rollei 35 SE developed. Didn't have any experience with zone focusing and I didn't use the flash. Shot with some Fuji Superia Xtra 400 that expired in 2010. Only a third of them were out of focus! Hotel Le Germain by Cacator, on Flickr Window by Cacator, on Flickr Melt by Cacator, on Flickr Stretch by Cacator, on Flickr Reflections by Cacator, on Flickr

Took my Rollei 35 SE and loaded it up with some Ilford XP2 on a trip. I know it's not technically a point and shoot since you have to focus and have manual settings but gently caress you.

Anybody want to recommend an XA vs an XA-2? There's a vintage reseller who has an XA-2 plus flash near me for $95 CAD while there's a number of similarly priced XA's on eBay which also have the flash. My only 35mm compact is a Rollei 35SE so I'm leaning towards the XA to get a true rangefinder and I like the 2.8 lens but I'm also thinking I want something with less hassle than the Rollei which would point to the XA-2. What's better for low light? I've thought about the Canonet QL17 GIII too but I don't think I want to deal with those mercury battery replacements again.

What do people recommend for a wide (at least 28mm) compact point and shoot? As much as I'd like a Ricoh GR1/Fuji Klasse W/Fuji Natura S/Minolta TC-1 I'd prefer not to pay out the rear end for one at the moment so right now the Nikon AF600 28mm f3.5 is looking attractive but if there's an option with a wider aperture I'm all ears. The Olympus mju-iii is a little slow in that regard, I've also looked up the Rollei Prego 90 which looks too big (more like preggers am i rite?) and the Fuji Zoom Date Silvi 2.8 but zoom is not necessary. Edit: I'm starting to like the Fuji DL Super Mini too. Cacator fucked around with this message at 04:36 on Apr 28, 2017 |

I've thought about getting some kind of XA at one point or another but I don't feel like lugging the flash unit around. Kinda want autofocus too tbh

Ended up with the Fuji DL Super Mini (although mine is called the Cardia Mini Tiara), my usual travel compact is a Rollei 35 SE but it was nice to have something that's considerably less fussy and it's even smaller too!
