Instant camera collection anyone?

The LX is a pro grade camera and can take exposures of quite some length on auto. I cannot remember what the advertised maximum exposure is, but in reality the LX's auto exposure will give you much longer than that, and it is superb in low light. Dial in some exposure compensation to account for the reciprocity failure and Bob's your uncle.

The ME Super, however, was a mass market enthusiast's camera. Still a lovely piece of equipment, but not in the same league as the LX. The "under" light indicated that four seconds wasn't enough to get a properly exposed image and hence your clear negatives.

Your best bet is to stick to using the LX in low light situations. It was built for the job!

Have fun with them, they are both lovely cameras.

Best wishes, Kris.

Is it generally the first or last shot of a sequence? Sounds like you have a slight light leak, probably because the seals need changing, but it only shows on frames which have been near the door for a while.

Run your finger along the edge of the door. If you get sticky black goo stuck to your finger you need to change the seals.

It is 1/125 if the batteries are dead. When you were taking the night shots did the shutter speed indicator show 'under'? My guess is that you are right and the film simply didn't get enough light to register anything much.

The first one is great but I'd crop all that excess blue background off the top of the shot.

Subtle... not. Nice buy! K.

Wow.

A nice set, and I especially like the first two.

Goldfeet as much as crests! Lovely images. K.

Congratulations, must be a great feeling which I can appreciate even if I have no idea what oval racing is.
