[edit] Comments
The top model of Bauer's "A" series.
Like every BAUER: According to test and info of the instruction manual it can only meter 40 and 160 ASA in artificial light with the corresponding 25 and 100 ASA in daylight.
The original, unmodified camera can not run the Ektachrome 64T automatically.
Modification see: http://film.project-consultant.net/
Warning: Do not change sensitivity generally! In this case the 25/40/100/160 ASA films will be underexposed!
[edit] Reviews
By Geoval:
Solid, reliable German Super 8 with a tack sharp Schneider Kreuznach Macro Variogon 6 - 70 mm /f1.8, easily matching the Zeiss GS8’s resolution and gorgeous color rendition, but more contrasty. This is the only Super 8 I know capable of making automatic timed exposures in low light. I shot a full moon with it once and it looked liked something out of a 60s horror movie! I loved the image quality I got with my A512 but hated the inadequate viewfinder - like all Bauers, the viewfinder eye piece is inexplicably designed so that it is not only uncomfortable to the naked eye but allows stray light to cause reflections and momentary blindness. I sold mine to buy my Nikon R10 and never looked back.
