Revue 400 SE Manual

[traveller]

I just couldn't control myself and got weak when I saw the camera on the bay. If the seller's description is somewhere near the truth the condition should be quite ok and I will have a nice one.

Now I'm searching for a manual and, sure it will not be my last camera, thinking about getting battery adapters for the PX 625.

Thank's for your help

I dont have a manual, nor have I seen one anywhere, but do you really need it?

John, can you have a guess at the flash sync speed? I would like to get one but would like to know if it can use flashbulbs first!

Hello Duncan,

I rarely use a flash but, as the Revue 400 SE is a clone of the Minolta Himatic 7 SII, there should be no problem. According to the Minolta manual the shutter speed should be 1/30 s or slower. With other flashes you use the Guide number system.

Not really, it's just a part of my GAS syndrome that I would like to have one 😀

Actually, as far as I know, the Revue 400 SE is a shutter-priority camera that only shares the same body and optics with the Minolta 7sII. Unlike the 7sII, the Revue needs batteries to work. To add insult to injury, it requires mercury batteries that are no longer available, but Oleg can update it to use modern batteries.

If you use flash often, the Revue may be a better choice than the 7sII, because the aperture ring has been replaced by a GN (guide number) indicator.

Is the Prinz 35ER another of the Vivitar / Revue / Minolta gang?
