My wish: simple mod that allows pre-fire, putting camera in "hair-trigger"
mode. Another press would send the rest of the process in motion.
Anyway, I'm thinking that one of the 70s rangefinders will be a fine concert
camera: very fast lens near 40mm, quiet, and very sharp. I may have to
buy/reject/sell several to sort out an outstanding example before I rebuild it.
I'm reading with great interest the various ideas about converting from
mercury to silver batteries. Once I find the example with a sharp lens, I can
tune the poteniometer rather than install a diode. Does anyone have links to
ideas about upgrading from a 70s era cadmium-sulfide cell to a silicon-blue
one? If I'm adjusting a pot anyway...
