hey Mijonju: quick question i recently bought a Revue 700 EL(some kind of clone) and i've read the camera's from that time use a 1,3 volt battery but I use a 1,5 Volt battery could that effect the auto exposure of the camera?
@HKG36E It might because the meter was meant for 1.3 volt batteries, I'd find out what battery type it originally took and see if any local stores like Radioshack or better yet a pure battery store, Those type of stores usually carry new batteries meant for film cameras
@HKG36E Radioshack is a chain of electronic stores, but unfortunately i think they are limited to being in america, But drug stores may sell them. And if they don't the last resort would be ebaying it
@U23Drocs do you maybe know which type of button cell it uses? I've read that some people use zinc air hearing aid batteries (in my country they are 1,4 V)
@HKG36E Watch batteries or Hearing aid batteries usually work, For example i have a minolta X370 that has auto exposure and it takes watch batteries. So i'd go for the watch batteries.
Funky vid, Mijonju, wish I had the time that day to come and join you guys. Perhaps next time, eh? (Though I too, lack LF equipment, and do MF only. Got rid of my Sinar Norma after it was wasting my space. Too much hassle..)
After years of film use, I would LOVE to go back, but on average it cost about $30 per roll of 35mm film to be bought, shipped, exposed, developed, and scanned to computer in remote areas of US and Canada. This is NOT including printing cost. In Japan, I could ride a subway to a near by film shop and have them both developed and scanned at about half the cost.
@fvgotch I wasn't attacking you dumbass, but since you're so smart i don't know where the hell you go to develop your film, cause i never payed more than 15€ for an entire rolls expense and i live in Portugal where we get taxed like crazy. Are you gonna tell me is more expensive in the U.S.?
@fvgotch For cheap scanning, get one of the old "slide copy"-type holders, stick it on your digicam and take a shot of the negative that way. invert in photoshop; done. Friends of mine often just take a shot of the neg held against their window, though nowadays (after-student-years) we've just bought film scanners such as the V700 or V750. film is about 4 euros a roll, and BW dev costs peanuts when done right.
@drheaddamage Thanks but your methods of scanning are cheap at best. Holding on to the light or holder and use a DSLR? No thanks. That is not why I've shot film for 15 years. V700 is decent for color negatives but when it comes to getting the dynamic range on slides or B&W, it pales compared to discontinued & driver-outdated dedicated film scanners which costs $1000 to $4000 used on ebay or have it done via custom lab which cost about $15 per roll & that $15 is on the cheaper side.
@franscartoons not really, its a little smaller then large format but bigger medium, i guess it was called a standard format back in the days but the standard seems to be 35mm now.
@hehehahey if you wanna I'll ask a friend in a hong kong shop to get a bulk so that he/she can sell it in batch, ill send it over from japan, maybe i'll ask the "mint shop in causeway bay"

@U23Drocs well i don't live in the US so i don't have a radioshack store. Is radioshack a huge consumer electronics store?
also i surfed around the internet and found out that the revue is a Konica C35 clone.
