The Rolleiflex SL 26 feels like a quality camera, while the Kodak and the Contaflex feel somewhat cheap. The Contaflex has some outstanding lenses: Tessar, Sonnar, Tele-Tessar. The little Rolleiflex has interchangeable front elements, sort of like the folding Retinas with the advantage of SLR focusing. I enoyed using this camera. Hi Melek, Does'nt the Contaflex also use interchangeable front elements? Their 35mm models do.

The Contaflex 126 has true interchangeable lenses. It seems counterintuitive that the Instamatic camera would have more advanced lenses than its 35mm stablemate.
The Contaflex 35mm SLRs have interchamngeable lens elements (Pro Tessars).

melek, interesting. Mind you what the 126 doesn't have too much of now is interchangeable film, so that makes them just about even!

I have two Kodak 126 SLRs. One of them, I used, and took very good pictures, with a 135 Schneider-K lens.
