Aiyoh...dust is ok lah.. have to be more careful lor...:sweat:

the plastic is crap, very soft, just a normal penknife can cut through with afew stroke. very easy to cut. So becareful, dun leave a "battle scar" like michealkechil's LCA.:sweat:

My heart still aching until now! :angry:

not really a LC-A+ yet lah, haven't change the light meter(LCA+ is ISO100 - 1600, ours is ISO25-400), LC-A+ is changed to use more sensitive film leh, that one, cannot fine any mods on the net yet. The cable release thread...not going to do lah, seldom use anyway, but I like the silver button:thumbsup:.

You can open up the base to cut the slot first... you have any cheap $1 auto camera or spoilt camera at home? See if there's any parts you can use for the lever.:thumbsup:

actually hor, different asa setting is achieved by changing the size of the hole over the sensor. cut yor own holes lah. change asa hole size change thats all, zero complicated electronics.

Actually, I did look at the holes at the ISO part just now, ISO400's hole is wide open already, cannot make it any bigger, thats why I think its the meter that they improved.

Just tested the mod, works great!

But I have a question...when on A mode, LC-A always open wide? Also, when use other fstop, the shutter speed seems the same...is it correct?

I see, thanks for the info. I always thought LC-A is a aperture priority camera, as in when you choose the aperture, the camera will choose the shutter speed.

no, no ,no...pass me...I repair it and use...better:sweatsm:
Mine was a dead one I bought from a CSer here. send it for repair and its working properly now. cost of dead camera + repair fee is less than half of a new LC-A+, about $160.

where did you send it for repairs?
