Nice little find. Is it a 500G with a scale focus?
I got my Electro GS out, checked the metering etc and all seems to work, Put a roll of XP2 in it and I'll see if there's anything worth a click at the 40s weekend tomorrow.
The XE1 is seriously misbehaving though. All the lenses are good, which kind of makes up for it I suppose. Camera shutter speeds are all over the place both in manual and auto. Not what they should be according to the speed dial and inconsistent as well. It looks a complicated one to play about with, Shame as it's a nice machine with a very smooth wind on and a quiet vertical, metal shutter .
