Martin, Your photos were the ones that got me to do the searching. I started on our group then headed off to flickr and saw that my results were like those...
They're sitting right here next to my computer - almost solid darkness. I didn't even look at them before. SusanKSchutz http://www.reddeviltj.etsy.com/ ...
Will do. I've got the next 2 days off and the weather is going to cooperate - means I'll be out with the cameras. I also discovered that my SRT 100 has film...
Ralph, thanks for reply. Will await your return and looksee in boxes. Best of luck to you and the youth with the eye surgery. Thanks again, Tony BTW: My...
Another thing that will affect your exposure. If your HiMatic G is like my 7S (and SRT 101,s etc), it was designed for the no longer available1.35 volt Px 625...
There are some better solutions listed here. Adjusting the ASA is a reasonable solution but the error is not linear and varies according to brightness level....
Thankyou for the info Chuck. I have read about some of the other solutions but never in so much detail. I will save your email for future reading. I chose...
Doug and Susan: The 1.35 volts are available. I can't remember what the Hi-Matic is, which type of button, the wide or the small (I also have a Leica CL,...
I bought mine from adorama previously and that's what I put in my Hi-matic last weekend. I did shoot an entire roll of film this week and have to take it for...
Regardless of how you choose to adjust for the voltage differential between mercury cells and your replacement battery it is best if you use a silver oxide...
Good morning, Douglas; The comments by Chuck Norcutt do match mine. The use of an AgO (Silver-Oxide) battery is a much better choice than an alkaline battery....
Thanks Ralph and Chuck, for the additional info. I have been meaning to look into the alternatives more closely and your information helps. However, I do...
I have no idea what an MR8 is. The mercury to silver oxide battery converter I'm familiar with is the MR9. The MR9 requires a 386 silver oxide battery....
Good morning, Doug; The MR8 and MR9 designations are for the battery adapters, and I think both Chuck and I referred to them as adapters in our text. I know...
Hi all you Hi-Matic hep cats: Just a note: the Wein is not an alkaline battery but a 'zinc-air' cell, which means I know not what specifically, but I have read...
Thanks Vince, for the link. I have been buying my Wein cells on eBay. I think this is cheaper. Doug Robertson ... From: "Vince" <passaro.vince@...> To:...
Batteries are named for their chemistry and the chemical reactions produce a voltage specific to the chemistry. A zinc-air cell has a maximum voltage of 1.65...
I have a SRT 200 with a battery that is marked "PX-13". It measures 1.35 v open circuit and move the needle into the correct range for test. Is this the same...
Stand back, people. I am on staff here, and I have the long cuff protective gloves. I will handle it. Good morning, Tom; Yes, Tom, you do indeed have one of...
Thankyou Ralph and Chuck for the additional battery info. Doug Robertson ... From: "RalphJ" <vy1n7kga@...> To: <ManualMinolta@yahoogroups.com> Sent:...
Ralph J, Holly Crap!!!! Is that the same mercury I coated dimes and quarters with back in the 50s and the same as the that used in my almalgam fillings in my...
Here's a mercury story for you. Back around 9 years ago I was in the environmental dept at one of the major auto plants around here. We kept track of...
For those of you who have an SLR at home, I have a fun experiment for you to try. It is a way to creatively use your digital camera to create some fun images. ...
Suzan, You ain't old. If I got all my fillings replaced would I get more dates? :-) My dentist told me not to worry till they need replaced and then they would...
