First Photos with my 'new' Electro 35

[midniteson]

Hi folks,

Just got my hands on a Electro 35 GTN.. so, after cleaning out the rangefinder and botching a battery adaptor, I went for a stroll through the local park to test it. The only problem I have is that the 'slow' warning light doesn't work. I have tested the bulb, which is fine. Anyone have any ideas where I could look to fix this?
Have to say, they're a joy to use... here's some of the results, in tricky lighting... doubt if the best DSLR could cope as well.
Cheers.

Legacy Pro 100 asa, developed in R09. I've been impressed with this film and at £2 for a 36 eposure roll, you can't go wrong 🙂

I'd say it's POD, pad of death. Usually if POD is dead one of lamps don't come on, were it amber? Though with rotten POD also Bulb doesn't work as it should.

Easy to check - if camera isn't making long exposures in subdued light, POD is gone even if Bulb works. In daylight film latitude and coincidence can still give acceptable exposures.

Nice photos. I especially like the 2nd one.
