Thank you very much for confirming this operation. It seems mine is somehow defective, as such a hard press is necessary. I will try P&G at Peninsula, then return to KEH. Thanks again for taking the time to try yours.

While I agree that this may otherwise be a small, seemingly insignificant feature, it is the main reason I bought it over the significantly cheaper AE-1. Call me crazy, but I want to try shooting theater with the A1, where there are brightly lit faces against black backgrounds, a lighting...

Yeah... he was like "There is no problem"... I had a go, still problem. This went back and forth, then he told me he didn't have any parts anyway. :angry: You mention there is another P&G at Peninsula SC, same owner or how? Chain? Also is Peninsula SC the one on the Funan side of street or...

Right, just got back from P&G at Adelphi. He could not replicate the problem. I then took the camera and same problem. He was pressing it with a lot of force, I think he just wanted me out of his shop... So probably will send back to KEH for repair/replacement.

Thanks for confirming this, I thought that it was somehow a feature... like that it would let you meter before locking... but that wouldn't make sense because there is a meter button right below it anyway. Thanks again.

Yes, KEH will reimburse reasonable repair costs in Singapore, hence my question, any recommendations of places that have experience with such models? I called up some I could find on Google but they were reluctant. Ideas? Failing this, KEH offered to pay for all shipping back to them, but I...

Ah yes, I should have made that clear. I am holding it down. Its just that when held down with a normal amount of strength, it does not lock the exposure, it simply lights up the exposure information in a similar way to holding down the shutter button halfway. It is only that when held down VERY...

Hello all, I just received a Canon A1 in very good condition having purchased it from KEH.com. Cosmetically it is very good, but I suspect that there is one glitch. The AE-Lock button, left of the lens mount (as camera is held up to eye) does not actually lock the exposure unless pressed...

Thanks for all the replies. I will get my lens when I am back home this summer then. :-) On a secondary point, anyone have any specific annoyances about the 35mm?

Hi. This is my first post on the forum. I own a Nikon D5100, with the normal 18-55 kit lens. I am wanting to buy a new lens, and I have settled on the 35mm f1.8. However, I have noticed that it is about 30% more expensive here, in Singapore, than in my home country of USA. Here are the...

Hey, thanks for all of the helpful advice. Its great to have such a helpful community! Just for point two, I believe you misunderstand me. I meant that If I wanted to expose for 1/30 of a second with the only two shutter settings being available to me being bulb and 1/60 of a second, then I...

Hello, I am a high school student wishing for a Lomo camera (Diana) for Christmas. It shoots 120mm natively, but I am going to get (hopefully) a 35mm back for it, so I can not spend all my money on the expensive 120mm film. This is so I can practice on 35mm film first. However, I have...
