Added a BAT85 Schottky diode to Rollei 35S meter

[bitfeng]

The Philips BAT-85diode is under the black tape at the right side. The dimension profile is DO-34. The forward voltage drop is 0.20V. Still one to two stops off. I could adjust the potentiometer on the back to make it right, but decided not to do so. The meter design is not good anyway so I do not want to keep chasing a ghost. Maybe just guestimate and/or use a lightmeter app.

Agree. Sunny 16 or external meter. Tried to use air-zinc battery, but meter get fooled easily indoors, so it mostly render it useless for me, because I shoot a lot with fast film/indoors.

I have 5 Tessar (including 2 MiG), and 6 Sonnar. Today I won an S-Xenar on the bay - hopefully this will conclude the journey ...... 😀😱
