[edit] Comments

1. Same features like ELMO 1012S-XL but shorter lens.
2. According to test and info in the instruction manual it can only meter 40 and 160 ASA in artificial light with the corresponding 25 and 100 ASA in daylight.
3. The original, unmodified camera can not run the Ektachrome 64T automatically. Modification see: http://film.project-consultant.net/
4. Will meter manually.
5. Solid, well built, excellent underrated lens
6. Quiet
