If nothing's missing, then I need to ask where the arrow-forming bezel is located. The viewfinder only shows two round blobs from the red and yellow lamps. I tried everything I could think of to see into the camera from the bottom. My workbench has a bright goosneck fluorescent that I can place within inches of the work. I also have a large handheld magnifier. There really is a lot of stuff in the way (again, this is a GSN, for whatever that's worth). I tried moving wires out of the way, pushing the shutter release, etc., but nothing allowed me to actually see the switch. I have Deoxit contact cleaner that works really well for this type work, but I don't want to spray it in the camera willy-nilly. It leaves a lubricating film behind that might not be appropriate in other areas. Anything more you can tell me about these two issues would be very much appreciated. Incidentally, I shot a few test frames yesterday (color negs), and the results were mostly good. Just wish this camera had a backlight switch; that should be mandatory on every camera, particularly those without manual controls. What has been your experience with these cameras regarding lens haze? I noticed on one of my indoor shots that light from a nearby fluorescent seems to spill (flare) into the frame to an unusual extent. I'm wondering if the lens should be disassembled and cleaned. Thanks again! |
