     I have a Kodak Retina III that shares the same legacy.  Used it for many 
years after graduating from a Brownie.  Learned a great deal with it, such as 
mentally judging exposure times, the use of Wratten filters, and judging the 
exposure correction when using them, even when using a light meter.

     When I graduated to the OM-1 I carried those methods with me and continued 
using them for over 30 years until moving to the E-500.
