Well I'm not enjoying using this spotmatic, the meter is off, I'm not really 100% on the focussing either, it feels great but the user experience and results aren't that good, might have to move to the zenit or cla the fujica, or better still find a body free from the ravages of time....
First out and about anything roll was a dustbin job, not sure it was entirely the cameras fault cos my Rodinal has gone poop, so I had to shoot another in a controlled environment to see how far out the meter actually was.
On a brighter note, the glass is great, reading between the mis-focus over exposure lines.....
So I'm looking for suggestions for a 35mm body, I've had my fill of sticky shutters, light seals and dodgy meters, the glass is m42 but besides a Bessa everything with M42 mount will likely be at least 25+ years old.
Its probably gonna be a m42 conversion ring job.
Nikons & Canons are out and anything that is 99% plastic, I want to shoot some Kodachrome on the hoof and need good metering.
Over to you collective film gods of TPF, all suggestions will be gratefully received...
