My brother has one of these and brags about its ruby shutter release
button. Seriously, as he also has a Rollei 35S his remarks to me were that
it opens like a Minox, but is much sturdier compared to one. In operation
and in photo quality, it's like an AE-only version of his Rollei 35S with a
rangefinder spot in the viewfinder. Not surprising, since both have
essentially the same CZ Sonnar lens. Very nice, if you can even find one!
I scoured around for a while just to see what the average value was, but
only found two over about a six month period. Both were pretty salty too!
Must be the ruby button. He got his for a song because the store that had
it was very small and didn't realize what they could really sell it for.
