And I wonder if I can take a photo of the Obelisk that’s not a cliche.” So I gave it a go. “I wonder if I can tell a little story about going for a walk from our house down to the Obelisk. Everyone who goes to Robe takes photos of the Obelisk – me included. Just about every business in town has an Obelisk in its logo. Everywhere you go in Robe you see pictures of the Obelisk. A bit like a pointy pyramid lighthouse but with no light. Robe is well known for the Obelisk, which is a signal thing built on a cliff in the 1800s so the ships would not crash into the rocks. We were there out of season, which is nice and quiet. It was an early port and now it’s a crayfishing town and a holiday destination in summer. I was at an old coastal town in South Australia called Robe. Let’s make a frame or two and see if we if we can get an IMAGE out of it, shall we?” I must confess that I like seeing the edges of the square frame.Īnother thing I like is that I can think – “OK – most of these shots will be incorrectly exposed, and some will be out of focus and WHO CARES. I did this when I was going all dogma on a project and wanted square frames but didn’t want to crop. Something else I did with this camera is make it shoot square frames – 24mm x 24mm, by sticking little bits of plastic inside it to mask out the edges of the frame. So at the beach I knew my 400 film would be overexposed by a couple of stops. I can tell you this because I looked up the specs and I wrote it down on a bit of gaffer tape and stuck it to the back of the camera for reference. This works up to a point – because shutter speeds go 1/45s to 1/200s and aperture f/4.5-f/11. This is cool – because if you take it to the beach and put some Portra 160 in it it will shoot it at 100.

No focus, and it reads only 400 ISO on its DX.

It’s one of my favourite cameras because it is so simple. I had a roll of HP5 in my little Canon Snappy LX II. If anybody has managed to make one of these antiques work I sure would like to know how you managed it.I was on holidays down the coast (as we say around here) and because the plan was to just relax I took a roll of black and white film and a Point and Shoot with me. I think I trashed the camera but would rather trash a nearly 10 year old camera than a brand new one. It is possible that I tore something up during all the experiments(assemble/disassemble,back and forth) but can not see any visible damage. Magnifying glass inspection of jumper soldering and shutter wire solder appears to be ok. Then soldered jumper back between 2 and 3 and soldered wires to contacts on 2 and 4(shutter and common).no luck. Then tried removing jumper between 2 and 3. I have tried soldering a jumper between 2 and 3 and then soldering the triggering wire to the gold contacts on 2 and 3(did not make much sense but I thought I was following instructions). The layout of the sensor board looks similar to that shown on the 'modifying the Canon Sure Shot Owl Date Camera(Slide 'On' Switch Model) The best I can tell the layout of the main front contacts (looking at the lens) is 12345, 1=Early Rewind, 2=shutter,3=shutter/flash,4=common,5=timer. Assuming this camera can be modified similarly to instructions shown on this board I cannot get the camera to fire. I thought it might be a good camera to learn on(cheap). I have an old Canon Snappy LX that I think does not go to 'sleep' but is fixed focus and does not have date stamp or very powerfull flash.
