Booster T Finder for old F-1

[mwmcbroom]

<p>Does the Booster T Finder for the old F-1 require an external battery pack to operate? It appears to have a chamber for the old 1.35v mercury battery, but I've also seen an accessory cord for it, which is why I ask.</p>

<p>Those should fix you up.</p>

<p>Doh! Thanks, Mark. Two sites I should have thought of to look before firing off the note. I don't have a BTF yet for my old F-1, but I've always wanted one. Maybe I'll get a few extra ducats under the Christmas tree this year where I'll finally be able to spring for one. </p>

Yet another amazing Canon F-1 accessory- any wonder that its system literature read so much like science fiction? And its EV -3.5 rating is still seriously impressive today- that's a country scene under the full moon, or even a little less.

 

Film reciprocity wil be an issue at the longer exposures a Booster T Finder can provide, and films differ in their

response to these conditions. Google is your friend though, man do film photographers have it easier these days...and

nights!
