I'm going to try running a roll of Tri-X through it as a test and keep the Sunny 16 rule in mind. I remember the Carl Zeiss lens yielding nice, sharp, contrasty images. But I'll be guessing on how to set the exposure by moving the lens ring, since it apparently controls both the shutter speed and aperture but lacks any markings on the lens to clearly indicate what's happening inside. If there's anyone out there who has shot one of these without a working selenium cell and figured out how to set it, pls let me know.mkmemphisphotohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07869690055215867805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8717981.post-78910450701800551512021-07-17T15:45:36.664-04:002021-07-17T15:45:36.664-04:00Your frames turned out really well; good job!

Many cameras from the 1950s and '60s with selenium meters have failed. kodachromeguy@bellsouth.nethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06220306502819757568noreply@blogger.com
