Very nice! The 35GT-E and 35GT-X versions improved radically on robustness and reliability. Mine has never needed anything but an occasional fresh battery. The -E gave you manual ISO settings, the -X read the ISO from the film canister. That manual control of ISO nets full control of exposure so that's what I bought.
