Summary: 


I must add my recommendation to the Minox 35GT.  It is a
beautiful camera, fits anywhere and everywhere, and has
worked perfectly for me (bought it about two and half years
ago).  As mentioned previously, the biggest drawback, for me,
about this camera is the automation.  Unfortunately, when
I bought it, the only other camera of the same size that
had a better system was the Rollei, but it cost too much
more and didn't fit in my jean jacket pocket as well (I
do a lot of backpacking and find that I tend to put most
of my camera equipment in the backpack and leave the Minox
in the jacket pocket).

There is definitely a problem with filters, however.

By the way, I recently used a little flash (and I mean
little -- uses only one AAA battery) called OSRAM.  Does
anybody know who carries this flash?  I want one but haven't
been able to find any store around here that carries it.
The one I used was in Spain this summer...  would like to
go back to get one but that would make it rather expensive :-)
