Dang, why didn't I read the threads here before opening up the top of the camera? Oh well, it was dim anyway, so I guess it had to go. As for eBay, I definitely understand the concept. I design/build/restore vacuum tube audio amps, and the same principles apply. Guess I need to decide whether I really love this particular camera enough to go through all this. It's probably a scarce model, but I don't care about that when I'm shooting. Its f/1.5 lens is only slightly faster than an Electro 35, and this thing weighs a ton. OTOH, the glass is perfect and the meter works. Also, shutter speeds range from 1 sec to 1/500, and it's calibrated to ASA 800. The most important thing, though, is that it's styled just like a mid-60s transistor radio. Maybe that's enough in itself.  |
