I'm converting part of the garage into a home studio. I have only an

18'x 10' space to work with because of previous remodeling. The

ceiling is 8'. Could someone please give a novice some lighting

suggestions? Thanks...John

I somehow fixed the wife's Elan ll. After fooling around with all the buttons and knobs, I opened the film compartment and shut it again. That did the trick. The camera is up and running again, and the wife owes me, big time. Thanks for everyones suggestions......JCB

I would like to thank everyone for their responses. It looks like we have a boat anchor here. I've tried everything but the tin foil deal, and nothing works.I emailed a lady who had a simular problem, back in Dec. of last year, with her Elan ll. I got her response today.....

 

"The minimum cost quote I got for repairing it was almost as much as buying a new camera body. So I decided to buy a new camera body. The other one was six years old, so I was gun shy of putting a lot of money ito it and then having other problems."

 

 

 

Sorry that I can not be of more help.

The battery indicator blinks and the camera won't power up. I've

switched batteries with our old Rebel, so I know that the battery is

good. I've cleaned the terminals,switched lenses, and it's still

dead. The wife loves the old camera, but I'm not sure if I want to

spend a hundred plus on it. Any "fix it" suggestions? Thanks I-A.
