 They aren't complicated, but they take a while to get used to. Most really old flashes will have a dial, slide, or chart that you read off of. For this example you would turn the dial to match your iso on top, figure out the distance to your subject on the bottom, then where it lines up is the aperture you use. It slows you down a bit since you'll have to check the chart often if you're out walking around, but generally if you are at a party taking pictures you're going to be the same distance away from people each time just based on framing. In that case you can set it once and be done with it.  Later flashes (like the one you posted) had an auto mode. For the given mode you would set your camera to the aperture that the arrow is pointing to and as long as your subject was within the range of that bar they would be properly exposed. For example: In the photo I posted if I set my camera to iso 100 at f/5.6 while in the red mode then I could take a photo of anything between 1 and 7 meters without changing settings.

More XA love      I'm on my last free expired roll of K gold 200. I can't wait to be done with it so I can try out that new portra stuff.

I just found out I have a Konica C35AF2 Auto Focus 35mm 2.8 The flash is busted and the camera doesn't seem to be working... Guess my weekend will be spent fixing and testing it.

atomicthumbs posted:Any SF-based goons need to get to the Harvey Milk Photo Center on 50 Scott Street now. They're doing a garage sale; they're selling a ton of old 35mm P&S cameras and darkroom equipment for $1 a pound. I'll post this to a couple other relevant threads too. Nothing too special in the lot, but if you want reels they have truckloads. I counted 5 boxes of metal ones and 3 boxes of plastic ones. They also had safe lights, easels of every size (both fixed and adjustable), a whole box of grain finders, two boxes of bulk loaders, and some really old rusty timers. Some notables: They have a full size enlarger in box. Don't know if it's complete but it's looked all there. The only camera left worth noting was an Olympus AFL-T, which really isn't worth noting. There were also a few boxes of contrast filters are probably worth something.

Any camera that is legitimately a 'point and shoot' will require a battery to work since they have an automatic metering process that requires a battery. The good new is that they are almost always watch batteries (or a single AA or AAA) and tend to last forever. If you want a camera that doesn't require a battery you'll have to move up to a full SLR or down to a toy camera.

asteroceras posted:Well, that's pretty inaccurate... Besides the selenium-metered options (as this thread encompasses rangefinders), many P&S have a set shutter speed. In Summary; Just get an XA.

Tell me how it goes. I've got the similar Konica C35 AF2, but I've never had any interest in actually using it.

It did kill it, but I brought it back to life. I had to open it up, clean it out and it's worked flawlessly ever since.

tuddy posted:but i did two rolls done, and cvs botched them by not cleaning their machines - scratches across every negative. woof. Those look like stuck/dead pixels. I'm betting that if you look at the negatives they aren't there and you could get the shots rescanned at a more reputable place.

Yeah, it has the 32mm f/1.7 and an uncoupled meter. For point and shoot purposes the lower f-stop and automatic features of the EE line aren't really that big a deal. I wouldn't bother with the FT line, the larger lenses sort of defeat the purpose of a tiny point and shoot, and the quality of a half frame image isn't worth the high price.
