<p>So whats the rule here? Do the pictures shown have to be shot during the current month?<br> At the risk of breaking a rule...</p> <p>These were shot a long time ago, in a place far away from where I am now (San Diego Zoo, over 1000 miles from here in Colorado...)<br> T-90 and Canon FD 400mm F4.5 S.S.C.. Shot on some kind of Fuji transparency film and processed at a long gone pro lab.</p> <p><img src="https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1498/25390456770_c0842742c0_c.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="509" /></p> <p><img src="https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1626/25390439590_f944162332_c.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="509" /></p>

<p>Michael, yes I'm going with it. Nothing else really makes much sense. Unfortunately all of my T50 parts bodies are more parts than bodies. Nothing much left to even see how they were made. Doesn't really matter though, it would be fun I guess to fix but in the end I was just planning to see if I could sell this one on anyhow. Too many cameras and this isn't one I'll ever use.<br> Walter. I see the T50 as the ultimate point n shoot camera. No worries along with the capability to use some of the best lenses ever made. Its an odd combination but one I can see some benefit in. And yes, mir and Mr. Butkus' site are both excellent!</p>

<p>I'm starting to wonder about that. When I look into the viewfinder at the correct angle I can see all three squares that light up. They sit at the correct spot to be the indicators shown in the manual. I'm wondering if maybe there was a mask that would have covered those areas to make the letters. This thing certainly could have been worked on before and perhaps the part was just left out. Other than the lack of the correct letters in the viewfinder it functions as described in the owners manual.<br> I think I have a couple T50 parts bodies around.. if I haven't thrown them out already. I need to dig around and see how they look in the viewfinder.</p>

<p>Thanks Bill but that's the same page that is in all the manuals I've seen. It's not however the indicators that are in my viewfinder. I don't have any letters at all, just two colored squares. Its pretty easy to see what they mean and how to use the camera, I had that figured right off. I'm just curious about when Canon would have put this different metering system in these cameras.</p>

<p>Yes, the lowly T50.<br> I have one here that I've never used, and I'm confused by the viewfinder display. All the information I can find online and in owners manuals says the display will have the letter P for Program Mode, M for manual, and a flash indicator. Mine doesn't seem to have any of that. I have a square green patch, and a red patch. It seems the green flashes all the time, but it flashes slower when I cover the lens. The red patch lights and flashes if I take the lens aperture ring off its auto mode or remove the lens altogether. So I can see a certain simple logic to all this, I just cant find anything anywhere indicating Canon ever made them this way. I'm guessing it could be an early version soon superseded by the more complete display shown in all the owners manuals I've found. Does anyone have any knowledge of any of this, or perhaps a link to a scanned manual showing this display?<br> I've not put a flash on to see if that indicator is present.</p> <p>Thanks much,</p> <p>Ed</p>

<p>Strikes me as a pretty good price Jeff! I love my ETRSi's, fantastic cameras and lenses. As mentioned above, hard to use with a prism and crank, or a waist lever and grip So I have one with an AE-III and speed grip, and another with a waist lever and crank. :) Love em both. I've been looking at expanding my lens selection. Perhaps its my imagination, but it seems Bronica stuff in general is climbing in price. Anyone else seeing the same, or is it just my poor memory?</p>

<p>I'm sitting here with mine on the table RW.<br> 1. The camera will take 8mm film, not super8. I only know of one type available, its a nice black and white from Fomapan.<br> 2. That lever is the shutter release. Push it up for single frame, down for continuous running.<br> 3. See Matthew's response above.<br> 4. Nope. You can select one of the three lenses but that's it.</p> <p> </p>

<p>Here's one shot earlier this summer at a car show in Ft. Collins, CO. The interior of an Austin Healey 3000, shot on Delta 100, in my F5 (developed in Rodinal). I collect and use a bunch of different cameras but currently at least the F5 is my go to favorite. The thing is amazing. For this shot I had a Tamron SP 24-135 f3.5-5.6 lens mounted up. I've had some really great Tamrons over the years and this one is no exception. They made some really nice lenses.</p><div></div>

<p>My first post to the thread.</p><div></div>

<p>After posting my last note I remembered that I have some OM parts cameras and separate parts in a box. Looking through it I found an OM1 top cover with your type film speed dial. The screw is just off center of the 100 setting toward 125. Hopefully the attached picture will help. The screwdriver is in the screws slot.</p> <p><img src="http://i677.photobucket.com/albums/vv135/ColoradoSpider/Cameras/DSC01595_zps6tui8sph.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="680" /></p>

<p>This is interesting. I just grabbed my OM1MD looking to see what number lined up with the screw hole only to find that mine doesn't have a screw hole. I guess there was a production change at some point. Seeing as how the dial spins all the way round with no stop then I'd say Christopher Geiss' idea would be the way to go.</p>

<p>Lovely Bill, that first one especially. Wonderful colors.</p>
