Upgrade to Hexar AF

Hi

I used a Canonet QL17 III quite (great images) a lot but found the meter on it a bit off, so I am presently trying to get rid of it. Instead I use a Rollei afm35 these days (good images but not the bang of the QL17) in its place as its more automatic, faster and the meter is bang on. I miss the ability to set ISO speed and put filters on it though so am attracted to the Konica Hexar AF as something between the 2 models ( I plan to upgrade my Kiev to a Contax II for manual focussing stuff with differnet lenses...). I am not sure if I could justity keeping the Rollei but it is fun. Does anyone know how the lens on the Hexar compares to the Rollei. Is is worth upgrading on the lens quality alone?

Your thoughts would be appreciated.

regards

Stephen
