Re: Vintage film cameras
True, my P30 can be a pain if the batteries aren't spot on.

Re: Vintage film cameras
I'll keep the Pentax if I can fix the meter. Needle doesn't move from the middle so it's not reacting to the battery. I'll have a play with it at the weekend. Also got the SV electrics to fix too, probably the semi-legendary green connector.
The Chinon is quite nice now I've got it working. Might try a silver oxide in the Pentax instead of the LR44 Last edited by yokohama; 19-07-16 at 08:24 PM. |

Re: Vintage film cameras
Put some pics of the Chinon here after the Canon pics.
https://goo.gl/photos/5Bf2imp2MkBuY5Gm7 It's pretty clean, all seals good, nice metal shutter, Judas window, DOF preview and multiple exposure button. Got a 28-70 Sigma and a 2x converter which will fit it and the Pentax too |

Re: Vintage film cameras
I think they're a cheap and cheerful camera, nothing wrong with them. They made cameras for other brands.

Re: Vintage film cameras
That's surprisingly clean. Any joy on getting the K1000 to work?

Re: Vintage film cameras
Absolutely glistening compared to the Canon.
Haven't had chance to take the Pentax apart yet. I've found a box of Cokin creative masks, which is basically a bunch of Perspex sheets and card backed plastic. Kind of a bit like this but some already cut out http://www.ebay.com/itm/cokin-creati...a/301288236374 Anybody?? |
