Many Thanks In Advance for your help and advice

I've just received my first SUPER 8 Camera, namely the

Minolta XL601. I was hoping to find someone on these

boards that might have had some experience working

with this camera and could provide me with some

insights as to how to best implement it's features.

 

Exposure

Light Meter

Back Light

Intervalometer

Diopeter

 

I've been searching for a MANUAL, since unfortunately this camera

did not come with one, but i have only noticed places selling similar model

photocopies at a price of

Half my Cameras Cost...

 

Any reference or advice is welcomed and appreciated

Sometimes these Super-8 cameras can be had so cheaply that I have no sympathy when someone says, "You expect me to pay $25.00 to fix the camera, but I only paid $25.00 for the camera??? whaaaaaaaaaa, whaaaaaaaa".

 

I find this to be the most self serving attitude on the planet. I'm not saying you did that but it's not being fair to your craft if you base the cost of repairs or manuals on what you paid for the camera.

The camera should have a value to you that is separate from what you paid for the camera.

 

I don't follow the logic that says if one spends $250 dollars for a camera then one is happy to pay $20.00 bucks for the manual, but if one finds the same camera for $20.00 they would never pay $20.00 for the manual???

 

Just what did you spend on the camera, and how much was the manual you don't want to buy?
