The Sekonic L98 light meter is a CdS meter which takes time to wake up. When you turn it on, meter something other than what you want to photograph to make sure it is awake, then take the light reading that you want.

All the best.

Kind of sounds like a wife I use to have

Now I'm curious. To follow that analogy through, what exactly does it entail when you "meter something other than what you want to photograph to make sure it is awake" and did the wife you used to have object to you metering something else or was she glad of those few extra minutes of sleep?

 

[John Austin]

Hang On

Since when was APUG a forum to give away sleepy wives?

 

[Molli]

I'm not sure; but if Steve had sent me a sleepy wife rather than a really cool light meter, I would hope the sleepiness was contagious - I've been awake for at least two days too many.

 

[guitstik]

I think Steve may have been married to a meter maid that was center weighted with a narrow focus who suffered from narcolepsy.

 

[Oxleyroad]

I'd like these if they are still available. I would like them sent to my brother's address in CA. Will PM the details.

This is for a Canon Sureshot AF-7. This was my Father's camera before he inevitably went digital by downgrading to a crappy P&S with no viewfinder that he's more happy with. It's the same logic that makes soluble coffee more popular than real coffee in the UK - convenience (laziness). This was the best camera my Father has ever had and he produced a few good shots with it. I think the wonderful large viewfinder assisted as he paid more attention to composition than usual. The camera takes two AA batteries, I haven't tested it with film but the flash fires and the take up mechanism whirs when the back is closed. It should work fine and if not you could always post it back to me.

Free postage if you're in the UK, elsewhere I'd like a contribution toward the cost.

This is a Nikon E screen (grid) which I took out of an FE. I think it'll work on the later FE2 & FM2/3 but may need exposure compensation.

Free postage worldwide on this!

Hi,
I`d be interested in the Nikon E screen,
Thank you, Jack

 

[perkeleellinen]

Hi Jack - The screen is yours. PM me your address. Congrats on the first post btw!

Miscellaneous Free Stuff

The following are free but you pay postage from 60070. I ship USPS and it is never cheap for a box. I'd like to be able to trust people so that I can ship it off priority or first class, tell you what it costs and have you paypal me that amount. So please no one that likes to argue about high shipping costs.
1. Ultronic Panoramic 35mm. The world famous plastic camera. Looks like it has never been used. Shutter works OK.
2. Ricoh AF-5 35mm camera. Cleaned the corrosion off the battery terminals and it seems to work OK. But didn't try with film. Flash works. View finder indicators show distance symbols and if flash is needed. Will need some cleaning of outside and battery terminals for use. Lens looks clean but I’m not sure how to open the shutter for a proper look through it. With lencap only.
3. Vivitar Tele 603 110. Corroded battery terminals. I cleaned them enough to try it but they will need some more work. Flash OK. Shutter works OK. Clean camera with case.
4. 3 rolls Kodak Max 400 24 exposure. I don’t see a date on these things. Number 9 is on the cassette.
5. Instruction book for Canon Sureshot 60 Zoom/Prima Zoom Shot. Ex shape.
6. I’d guess a Canon body and lens rear cap. They fit together. Body cap is marked Canon Taiwan T 2 and lens rear cap just Taiwan 3.
Hope someone can use this stuff.

I want Ultronic , pm will be sent now

 

[perkeleellinen]

This is for a Canon Sureshot AF-7...

Canon on hold.

 

[ChuckP]

The Ultronic is on it's way to Istanbul. Rest of the items are still available. Sort of unclear so I wanted to say that film is color Kodak Max not Tmax.
