have a question.

am having a slight problem understanding the lightmetering mechanics of this camera. (Leicina Super)

can someone explain to me about the 'measuring button' (or starting aid)

it seems to me that i do not get auto-exposure once i trigger (eg. canon models etc..) but i have to set f-stop using the 'measuring button' lock it w/ diaphragm lock buttons and then proceed to shoot?

do i even have manual control over the aperture?
besides the exposure correction knob.

sorry but this camera is pretty different from the normal cameras around.

if anyone has the NOV 1970 issue of Movie maker.
there is a test report of this camera.
if you could scan in those pages for me, that'll be great!
thanks

Hi,

http://www.super8.no/manuals.html
offers these English user manuals (amongst others) as a free download:

Leicina Electronic Control Unit for the Leicina Super
Leicina Special
Leicina Super RT-1

I hope that your question is answered in one of those scans [Smile]
