John,

I use my Rollei 35S a lot, since it is my companion on all those occasions
(like the frequent business trips to London) where cannot carry my Leica
stuff. I find the meter very useful, it is not as good as that in a Leica
M6 or M7, especially in low light, but still, for me having to carry a
separate meter would defeat the purpose of a pocket camera. With the Rollei
35 meter, I get good exposures using mostly Agfa Scala.
