Thank you. Sounds like they should work fine then.

Great thread for T90 users. Has anyone used Eneloop pro batteries in their T90, are they safe to use ? Reason I ask is years ago I had the MA motordrive for an A1 and the thing packed up as soon as I put rechargeable batteries in it.....don't want to risk my T90

Great. I must have a read of that thread 👍

So....after not using this camera for the last year or so went to fire it and the dreaded Help and EEE messages were flashing at me. Have seen all the notes and videos on sticky magnets etc. Sorted mine by removing the battery tray, pushing in the stop down lever and reinserting the battery...

The needle on this moves smoothly when responding to different light levels so think it is working fine. Just can't work it out 😂

Have one of these I got with a job lot of stuff but can't for the life of me figure out how to use it ? Looks like the one in link below but mine goes up to 1000 ASA, maybe a later model. https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/vintage-sunset-unittic-exposure-light-418823321

Just thought I would throw this up here in case someone comes across the same problem. I have the EL skyport for my lights, think it is the first model. It was becoming erratic and eventually just stopped working. I took the thing apart and discovered the metal contact prong that connects to...

Great, hope it works out ok for you. Just for information anyway what came out of mine was a 0.25 uF 630 V cap and a 47 ohm 1/2 watt resistor.... at least that's what I worked it out to be from the colour bands..

I will have to check for you. I made a note somewhere. It is a capacitor and a resistor encased in a resin. If your one blew I guess you got a whiff of the disgusting odour they put out 🤮

Purchased one of these for using with Minolta cameras. It seems to be working perfectly well but there are a couple of unusual characteristics I have found and just wondering if they are normal. The lens is all metal construction which is a good thing in my book but when the lens reaches focus...

No it's perfect at the moment but worried it may start to decay so just trying to prevent it.

I have a lovely example of the Minolta Dynax 9 camera and I would like to keep it that way for as long as possible. Does anyone have a suggestion for what to use to keep the rubber grip in good condition. I know Minolta's of this era are notorious for the rubber grips crumbling into...

Looks like it has broken away / fallen off an SQ film back. It is the film back latch.

I wear reading glasses but don't like wearing glasses with my cameras as I find it hard to see the viewfinder fully. I have dioptre lenses in for my Bronica WLF and prism finder which I find are working well. I have cut a piece of the lens from a cheapo set of reading glasses using a Dremil...

Here it is....excellent condition and working perfectly, well as far as I can tell until I attach a lens ! fingers crossed.
