Hey,
Thanks for the video.

I was wondering if you would know how much ASA is this film?
if its just 25asa like I read somewhere, how can you film indoors? (wouldn't it be completely dark ?)

Thanks in advance!

The Canon 518/2 mesures light all the time unless the cap is on :\

Just like modern reflex cameras , in order to get focus AND\OR metering , you have to press the trigger half the way. known thing in photography. ;)

So ya , congrats. on the "new" cam! its working perfectly.

Jim , Thanks a lot !

Hey everyone, So I got this camera's light meter to work (YAY my first fix ! :) :) ) Now I have two types of film at reach. one is the 64T and the other is the 200asa Tri-X film . I was just wondering if anyone know if my camera supports those films and exposes them correctly. My camera is auto expo...

Even better news,
I opened the front camera part , and pulled the niddle upperwards a bit. now I can see it , and it works !!


Thanks again dear forum ;)

good news in what way ? thanks though for the info ;) I tried opening up the front of the camera , where I see I tiny needle infront of the eye lens tube. I dont see it when I look trough the eye piece though. So im pretty much stuck with a camera that shoots on auto exposure only , with no light me...

Oh no ... I just found out the Canon is full automatic exposure.. no manual

Hey everyone, I just got a Canon 518/2 super8 cam. its in good condition and motor running smoothly, also filter works good (on and off). the only problem is its missing the needle on the light meter for some reason. therefor ... no light meter. I found out the shutter degree on this one is 220. Im ...

Ya I guess your right, altough,...

What if I mesure the distance, but the focus split isnt aligned? again I mention that I cant use the viewfinder. (its always blurry.)

So should I go by the split focus sytem or strictly by distance mesure ?

Thanks.

Hey everyone , Im using the nikon x8 super zoom , And I have a problem with focusing. I tried using the method of zooming in all the way (tele) and adjusting the eye piece, but I cant reach the level of focus. I turn the eye piece until its almost out of place and the other way , until its tight on ...

Then I thgout to myself.. Hey , reflax still cameras required half a press to focus. maybe this is the sa...

Hey Mitch, When I hit the battery check on top of the camera , the light meter needle jumps to around 6 , and when I point the camera around the needle jumps randomly. (it gave me "2" when brightly lit and "8" when in dark... like I Said , random.). So I guess the batteries do ef...

Hey Ya theres a TriX film inside. The only way I Get the light meter to responde is using the battery check. I now see that while I hold it and point the camera around , the needle goes crazy with out any connection to how much light there is (it shows "2" on very high light and 8 and very...
