The specimen in my possession is in a good state of conservation and has no signs of use. RnrnThe first impression it has is solidity: the metal structure varnishesTo semi-matt also gives a sense of elegance. The design is modern and offers excellent ergonomics. The controls are arranged fairly and are intuitive. The engine immediately wraps the film with a hiss I would say nice. The display shows the number 1 that corresponds to the count.rnrnAt you can set the usual shutter modes: aperture, timing, manual, and auto priority. For setting the priority parameter value, the knob rotates above the shutter button : The value is visible on the lcd display (which is not lit.) The set times range from 30 seconds to 1/2000, beyond the setting B.rnrnThe shot is dry and the viewfinder shows the values ??set. In addition, a round led that can be fixed by allowing the shutter or flashing, such as focus failure, preventing it. RnrnThe machine has full compatibility with all EF lenses, while EF-Socks can not be mounted. Being a machine designed and manufacturedIt's thirty years ago, I have to say that it has features of all respect that make it into the category of advanced semi-pro / amateur. A nice toy, in short, which is now affordable to a few tens of euros. I took it to € 69.50 with a 12-month warranty and I'm sure I did a great buy.rnrnThen I finish this review, reserving to upgrade if I find more interesting details in the future. |
