I took the first roll with the VSL3-E repaired in Germany, it works
fine. It's a camera very comfortable to hold, perhaps the shutter
release button travel is a bit long due to the second position to
block the exposure memory, but  you become used to it after some shots
(the Pentax P30t has a separated button to memorize the exposure
metering, but it was designed about 10 years later). Shutter speeds
are continous from 16 seconds to 1/1000th sec, when the camera
metering system measures or selects an intermediate shutter speed, the
leds for the upper and lower closest speeds become "on" together. The
automatic mode works choosing the f stop previously (a full automatic
mode was thought for the Rolleiflex SL35 E, but there were several
technical problems and the camera had the same system regarding the
VSL3-E finally). The mechanical shutter speeds "B" and "X" (1/125)
also work fine, shutter and mirror working is smooth. These two
photographs were taken with the camera , the Rolleinar 2,8/135 and
Kodak Ultramax 400 color negative film:
