Too bad about the meter although I wouldn't be uncomfortable with shooting it without a meter in daylight.[COLOR="Silver"]
Yesterday night I started to clean the battery compartment and I re-awoke the lightmeter of the old dinosaur.
Today I went out to shoot a test film and really, I can't imagine how the pros of that era could go in jungle in Vietnam for hours with these cameras at the neck, I assume I need to find a wider strap, however it really feels...quality...even more than a Nikon F2 and a LX.
A special thanks to Michael "Cooltouch" for all the useful info on the Canon FDs, he's the real expert of the board on the matter.
BTW, today I received the last piece of the FD puzzle: after Godzilla the Terminator model T90, aka as the camera from the Future who travelled back in time to change history of SLRs. I'm still studying the substantial literature the T90 came with (brochure, owner's manual and Huenecke's book) and my brain is alreay on fire...I can't forget Godzilla's simplicity: level needle, circle...needle in the middle of the circle. This is what you have to do, ALL you have to do!
Pictures of the Terminator tomorrow.
