Elias:
According the 3.5F/2.8F manual, shutter speeds values are not variable
between "clicks" or numbers and then they recommend to set the shutter speed
putting the numbers at the window centre. My 3.5F no longer has the clicks,
Harry eliminated them, I don't know the exact reason he did it but I'm happy
because when I tested the camera to send it to CLA, I disliked the "clicks";
perhaps it could get intermediate speeds now, I did not do a try yet. The 2.8C
has variable speeds from 1 sec to 1/10th sec and from 1/25th sec to 1/250th,
there are no variable speeds between 1/10th and 1/25th and between 1/250th and
1/500th.
My 3.5F selenium cells worked fine up to last year and I enjoyed it; then the
lightmeter started to be imprecise for indoors shots specially, I use a hand
lightmeter now. I had tried to buy selenium cells from Todd to have them like
spare part, however he advised me to use a hand lightmeter when my camera cells
atart to fail, he wrote me that even new selenium cells old stock tended to
fail due to their age from the manufacturing date.
Be careful about the 3.5F lens caps, there are two BII lens caps types
according the camera model, one of them is the BII lens caps for the 3.5C/E and
for the 3.5E2, the other type is the BII for the 3.5F and 3.5E3, the difference
is the distance between lenses, 42mm for the first type and 45mm for the second
type.-
