I do hope the Mods will move this if necessary. (Yep - moved to F&C for you :)) Does anyone have some sort of "service guide" to the Weston Mast light meters of a few years (decades) ago please? I have one that does not work well and I'd like to fix it. But I do not know how to get inside it...

This may be slightly off-topic, but why do I get " Sorry, we can't find "Search". Please check the spelling of the web address." when I click on any of the addresses shown ? :bang: :exit:

One essential thing about a business card is "SIMPLICITY" Don't clutter your card up with things and weird fonts.. A.J.Blogges, photographer phone . . . . . fax . . . . e-mail . . . . . A simple message works better. The image is one of quiet competence; you don't need to...

My thanks for the amusements, folks. My question could, I guess, have been phrased better. (Sorry;I was raised as a techie!). I wanted to know about "aperture" in an electronic sense as, despite my best endeavours I cannot see an aperture ring and thus wondered if it was/is an "electronic...

Thanks for the helpful (and amusing) replies. What's getting to me probably isn't vital; I'd just like to understand what's going on! Ah well, back to the Operating Manual

Thanks, chaps.

Well, my lens is an EF 70-135 and there's no aperture thingy therein. So I guess that it's "all done in software" which is a bit of a bu**er. Ah well, Plan B, then . . .

Use of flash specifically was not uppermost in my mind at the time I wrote (I have a second question labelled Flash 2 for later on). A modern light meter is, frankly, rather expensive for the amount I'm planning to use it, but there are several models of light-meter giving the result in "lux"...

Is there some sort of light conversion scale that runs from "Lux /ft.Candles" to "Speed/Aperture" settings? You know, the sort of thing that goes from "44 Lux to "1/100th @ f8, 100ASA" I have decided to go back to basics for a bit, re-learn the art, and then start properly on the Canon.

I do hope the Mods will take kindly if I have put this question in the wrong place. I've used a camera for many years. I got used to setting Aperture and shutter speed for a given ISO (or DIN) rating of film, both two-and-a-quater square and 35mm. I spent hours in various darkrooms getting...

I'm stuck. Not being in a position to afford a Canon flash gun and not being the most frequent user (so far), I have bought a Jessops 360AFDC to work with my Canon EOS400D (with the EF 28-135mm lens). The "instruction sheet" (cannot call is a manual) is badly written (IMO) and does not explain...

Good Morning, and the Compliments of the Season to all. I'm a retired former Calibration Tech and Radio Ham. I've been taking pictures for many years and never managed more than about three of any real worth. Normally, I set my camera to Auto and let it do the work (I had little trouble...
