Hi,

Not sure if this also applies to your camera.

However the XL84 should meter 100D correctly right out of the box as it should have two sensors (one for "40 or 160 ASA Tungsten" and one for "Tungsten or Daylight"). (As long as the 100D is notched as 100D. This is the case for the original Kodak Ektachrome 100D. Not sure about the "refillers" like Wittner or Pro8mm.)

Thanks Jörg!

The minolta xl 84 has only one pin and when you put 100D film the lightmeter read as 160 or 100 (with filter)... Need adjust inside the camera... [Frown]
