Another one of these. All it needed was a battery. I love Spotmatics.

This one makes it two that I own. The ME also came with a Vivitar 70-150mm f1:3.8 "close focus lens. I don't know much about this one, except that is very solidly built.

I think the F100 has an issue with a plastic film advance gear breaking. For such a good camera, I can't figure out why Nikon cheaped out on that gear.

Here's the results of today's scavenging.
Installed batteries, and they all work. Basically, I'm into them for $20 plus the batteries I had in my drawer. They came with some other junk, flash units, filters, polarizers, TeleExtenders, and some sort of .45x wide angle lens thing that screws onto lens filter threads.
I'm not sure about the EOS Elan II or the N65, but I think I'm going to like the N90S.

Hmm....I need to not pay any attention to all of the cool point and shooters. I need to avoid branching out at all costs!!

Today's find. A stone cold MINT Nikon FM. It seriously could pass for new.

The SRT-101 will still work, using my Weston light meter. That's the beauty of them.
I put an exposed roll of junk film in the Ricoh, and yes you are correct. It has to have film in it to function.

Someone had a "bag of cameras" to give away. I put batteries in all of them, and only one of them isn't fully functional.....the SRT-101 has a non working meter. All the other cameras do what they are supposed to do. It took me while to figure out the Ricoh Super Shot.
Here's what they are:
Olympus OM-10 body
Minolta SRT-101 body
Minolta X-370 with Rokkor 50mm f1.7 lens
Chinon CM-7 with Chinon 50mm f1.7 lens
Canon EOS Elan body
Canon EOS Elan 7 body
Minolta Maxxum AF 5000 body
Ricoh Super Shot rangefinder camera with Rikenon 43mm f1.7
A pretty good score, I think. They were, literally, in a grocery bag.

One thing I like about the Mirandas I have..... Once you get accustomed to the shutter release being on the front, you wonder why all makers didn't do it this way. It's very natural for the way I hold cameras, and I do believe I can hold a lot more still for some of the slower shutter speeds.

Another good day. These two were given to me because "they don't work, and I don 't know anything about them". Guess what? They both work perfectly after installing new batteries. The viewfinders are amazingly free of specks and dirt. Also got the manuals for the AE-1 and they are also in great shape.

I love these Nikkormats. I have another on incoming in a few days. I have my eye on another one, as well. I need to find some more primes for them.
Speaking of CLA....this black one has a pretty jumpy meter. On slower shutter speeds. Above 250 it's fine. is there a fix for this, or is this just the way it will be for this particular camera?
