I'm curious about the Rollei 35 LED, I have a Rollei 35S, and in the past have used a Rollei 35 original and a 35B but never the LED. What is it like to use, what do you actually see through the veiwfinder, (i'm thinking meter wise). Paul (Kuvvy will probably be to help with this one, as I know he owns one).

Surprise, surprise, I'm here Mick. I've only had one roll through the LED so far but the results were very good. The lens is plenty sharp. See my shots on flickr here http://www.flickr.com/search/?w=81526159@N00&q=35+led&m=text
The aperture ring is stepless. When metering, there are three LEDs at the top of the screen, two red and one green in the middle and its just a matter of 'green means go'.
When using either my LED or 35 I also sometimes use my tiny Digisix meter which I find quicker when the light is forever changes.

Cheers Paul, this is more than helpfull, I might just get myself an LED
I have the 35TE, which uses the LED arrangement described above. The battery is hard to find: PX-27. I ended up using 4 G-10 silver batteries in an old PX-27 case (took it apart) to get it running.
Cool little camera, but you have to remember to wind the film before collapsing the lens.
