  • Shutter speed: 12fps-1/23s, 18fps-1/34s, 24fps-1/46s, 48fps-1/92s, single frame 1/34s
  • The spring drive ensures 2m film run.

F1.9 F2.8 F4.0 F5.6 F8.0 F11 F16
1.6m-inf 1.2m-inf 0.9m-inf 0.7m-inf 0.5m-inf 0.4m-inf 0.3m-inf

Unfortunately the selenium photometer is known to go blind over the decades. However that doesn't matter as the exposure-meter only works for 18fps. So an external photometer (or a printed exposure-table for your film and shutter-speed) is a must even if the selenium photometer still works properly.
