Re: Vintage film cameras
I'd never thought of a light meter smartphone app; that's something to check out. Thanks.
I based everything on the sunny 16 idea. Shutter speed is either 200 or 50 so I went for a 200 ASA film with shutter at 200 and just reduced the f stop depending on the light. I tried a few shots at 50 shutter speed anyway just to experiment but I'm expecting them to be blurry. I'll post anything worthwhile once the film is finished. |

Re: Vintage film cameras
Its hard to explain. I hold the base of the camera in my left palm with the fold out door resting on my fingers. Then with my right hand I use my middle finger for the shutter release with my other fingers resting on the struts (keeping away from the lens of course)
Kind of like this: http://www.marriottcameras.co.uk/ins...h_pictures.htm |

Damn, seems I can't take out the MV screen as easy as I did with the OM10. You have to take the whole top off and remove the pentaprism. Will just use the OM10 screen I think!

Re: Vintage film cameras
Well got the Contessa back in almost one piece, need to sort out collimation and look at the rangefinder. Still some spots on the lenses I can't seem to shift. Shutter speeds are all closer than any of the others, 1/400 is near enough to 1/500.

Hey Johnny, fancy a Vito B? Can't seem to get it back together and set the focus. Driving me up the wall. You may have better luck.

Re: Vintage film cameras
I'll try sorting it out if you like, will PM you my address.

Re: Vintage film cameras
PS if you want to send the Contina as well I'll give it a look, can't promise anything

Re: Vintage film cameras
Right, I have gathered everything together and will box up and post out tomorrow. The only thing I couldn't find is the metal pin to set the shutter on the Contina.
