Rick, I'm glad you reminded me about metering. The Lynx 5000 uses a CDS cell on the body. With ASA 100 film, the camera can compensate 3 stops (by setting to ASA 12). With a 4 stop ND filter, the result will be one stop underexposed (the desired effect). The end result should be a system that can shoot 1/1000 @ f/2 in bright sun using fill-flash. Yes, the 5000 can achieve its 1/1000 shutter speed at all apertures, including f/1.8. I know the model you're thinking about, it was the V2 and a few later variants. It used a single diaphragm to act as both aperture and shutter. No Yashica is designed that way, as far as I know. I'll shoot a few frames first without filtering the flash. Thanks for the advice, I'm looking forward to trying this out! |
