Notes/Reviews[edit]

Although the camera is not set up to meter for the new 64 ASA Ektachrome, it can be easily modified to do so by chipping the cartridge to the 160 ASA mark and then placing a 4/3rds stop neutral density filter over the electric eye. This keeps low light capability and allows for proper metering.

I have used the camera to shoot several packs of film and love it, though it gets me weird looks. I can't wait to get my hands on some 50D and 200 ASA negative stocks and I plan to modify it to Max 8 wide screen.

Don't bother disassembling this camera. You can't do anything.
