Hi this is my first time posting so if I am.in the wrong place, please just let me know....I will start by saying that I am not a
photographer and I know very little about cameras but have always wanted to learn. I have always had a fascination with film
cameras. I have a diana that my husband got me last christmas. All that being said my gandmother got me a Beseler Topcon Auto
100 at a thrift shop and I have no idea if it works. What I have been able to come across so far is that it takes an old Mercury
button cell battery and that it can be replaced using an akaline or zinc air battery. I have found the manual online and have been
reading through it but if anyone here knows anything about this camera it would be a great help. Also does it need the battery in it
for the shutter to open and close? When I look through the veiwfinder it is black..Does this mean that the shutter is stuck closed?
Again any help is appreciated,
Thanks in Advance,
Ashley Marie
