Just got a new C1. It is a store demo model, so got it cheap. Thats the good news. Bad news is that there is no owners manual.
I think I can figure most of it out. Except how to set the time and date. And, once I have done that, how to I toggle the date on and off?
The lens moves out in steps. Anyone know what those steps are? My guess is 50, 70, 90 105.
If we get some light tomorrow, I will shoot some slides at a test target with the C1, a T4Zoom, a cheap Nikon zoom (28-70) and my SLR prime lenses.
One test i will do is to shoot towards the sun and check for flare. My digital camera zoom lens (Kodak 4800) is bad for this.
I have made a simple lens shade for the C1 and the Yashica T4 zoom. Same shade fits both cameras.
Shade is made by taking a Kodak plastic 35mm film can and cutting in about 1/2" below the lip. I just cut it with my pen knife and then used a file to make it more uniform. This will slip over the lens, once the camera is in the "on" position. In theory, I will now beable to aim a bit more "up sun" without flare.
If someone could explain how to ahndle the date change and the zoom posions I would sure appreciate it. I wonder if I can download an owner's manual on the web.
