(My SL had the older of the two cell types which were used for that model.)

I bought an SL, and had to recalibrate the meter, but it still seems to be off in low light situations. I thought it should manage 100 ASA, 1/15 sec, 2.0, but it doesn't seem to. Is this normal? I ended up with underexposed nice shots on Ektachrome 100 of my parents with the 90 Summicron... But it seemed to be alright for outdoor shots. I have tried to compare it to my Gossen Mastersix (I know I shouldn't compare meters but :-)) and they agree for light subjects, but the SL's meter is off by a few steps for low lights.
