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.
