Rollei 35t meter question

[Ducky]

I picked up a Rollei 35 T. The meter consists of a white needle that moves with the amount of light, an orange needle with a hole in the end that moves with the aperture and shutter adjustments, and another orange shape that does not seem to move.
Now, all other google answers immediately go to the battery types, voltage, mercury etc. I know about that.
What am I supposed to be looking for when these needles move, when do I read it and what is supposed to line up. The manual does not tell me.
Thanks.

Off the top of my head, match the needles and your selected exposure matches the metered one. White being the meter, and orange being your selected exposure.

I thought so. My first roll using sunny sixteen got shredded when I over advanced the last frame. Won't do that again.

Thanks.

That's a bummer, had a few accidents myself with one or two of my initial rolls in the 35T. Re: meter, never really use it myself, as I found it to be a little erratic and favour sunny16 or my little sekonic instead. Lovely street shooter the rollei, even if it is deceptively heavy 🙂 Have fun shooting with it
