The SL35E meter is indeed a killer feature. F&H engineers managed to find
the sweet spot between integral metering (which doesn't deal well with
contrasts, requiring skilled manual intervention), and spot metering (same
requirements, for other reasons).
I had a short fling with an SLR that implemented the two extremes, the OM
2sp. And while i was a dream come true on paper, I hated what I had in my
hands. I found an affordable 3003, sold the OM to a friend, and didn't look
back.

These days, 3003 bodies probably go for a third of the price of a half
decent 2,8F. For both, you'd have to add a CLA, I guess. I have had an ebay
offer bookmarked for 379 EUR (380607359071) for a while...
