Contax T and higher ISO's

[g-man1]

Anyway I can use film of ISO greater than 1000 in the Contax T? (somehow trick

the meter?)

Higher ISO is in fact underexposing the value of the lower ISO. So if you want to use ISO 1600 and your Contax T's limit is ISO 1000, you still can use a film of ISO 1600 but turn the exposure compensation dial on the camera to - (minus) 2/3 and shoot normally with this setting.<P>

There's no exposure compensation dial on the original Contax T. Thanks for the suggestion, though.
