camarotype Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Has anybody here seen a Kinor 35h Light meter? after reading the entire manual for the kinor including the russian ones there are no pictures of the optional light meter. If anybody has one or have a picture could you please post it here? i'm curious to see how it looks and how it is attached to the camera. :rolleyes: Just in case i have all the manuals for the kinor 35h in russian. it's 4 manuals in total 2 for the camera and electronics and 2 for the battery and chargers. if anybody need some info i can scan some pages and post it here. thank you all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Bruce Taylor Posted June 24, 2010 Premium Member Share Posted June 24, 2010 I have never seen a reference to a Kinor 35H light meter. Given the very basic manual operation of the camera I would be surprised that one was made for it. Also, the standard Lomos made for the 35H do not have aperture gears so I don't know how it would have operated. I have a set of Russian manuals too, but since I know no Russian I can't make heads or tails of them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Bruce Taylor Posted June 25, 2010 Premium Member Share Posted June 25, 2010 Interesting! Perhaps it was simply a through the lens meter, like your K-3. I've never seen an illustration of one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sort of thru the lens but the viewfinder actually i can post here the specs for it. but yeah i agree there no illustration at all. i do believe its for an older model perhaps the first ones. my kinor is a 1990 and it doesnt have the door on the left side for the video tap its on top together with the viewfinder.
