sergio_ortega7 Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Does the New F-1 (with the AE finder) in aperture priority mode allow the user to hold a particular meter reading, recompose and then make the exposure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awahlster Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 No the EF and the T90 both have exposure lock thru the shutter button the A series have a seperate button on the side of the mirror box that allows this. Don't know about the T70 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter_white2 Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 It doesn't, which is why for the life of me I could never figure out why anyone in his right mind would want that finder. The F-1's match needle metering works beautifully. Having that half-assed auto feature makes it useless, unless you only shoot negative film and don't much care about accurate exposures.

gan1 Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 I also find the F-1N's aperture-priority mode to be pretty useless, except when I want to use it with a Speedlite 199A and power winder to get auto flash. And why is it that you can only get shutter-priority with a motor drive/power winder attached? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergio_ortega7 Posted August 9, 2005 Author Share Posted August 9, 2005 Thanks to all who responded. I've read the instructions, and there is no mention of holding an AE meter reading, recomposing and shooting. Strange..the F3 has this feature, as do other pro-level manual bodies with AE...and what's the deal with no MLU? I wonder if either the power winder or motor provides this feature, since they both seem to have a separate shutter release in the grip area.

dirk_dom Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Neither the motor drive nor the winder allow you to hold your AE metering. With motor or winder you add the possibility of shutter priority exposure, you keep the possibility of aperture priority. That the F1 doesn't let you hold exposures is a great pity. I've been shooting with the New F1 for five years, and recently bought a T90. This miraculous machine allows yo to hold metering in spot metering mode by pushing the release button halfway, which is absolutely great. It even averages up to 8 spot meterings in difficult situations. Since I have the T90, I hardly use the F1 any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter_white2 Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 The New F-1 needs no MLU. The mirror's action is very well damped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
