wait a minute... my scope says "made in usa"
yes, it's automatically adjusted (stepless) from 1/30 to 1/500 of a second according to the position of the aperture ring (and of course by the amount of light...).On 2006-09-03 14:26, BingoTheClowno wrote:

Can you take pictures in low light with an ISO 100 at lowest speed?
The construction is ingeniously simple - the opposite of the indicator needle controls the spring mechanism of the exposure.
If there's not enough light the cam still operates at 1/30, it doesn't block the exposure - which it does if the battery is empty...
The lens is in fact a prime lens, a 40mm Zeiss Tessar, at it's time nicknamed the 'eagleeye'
Digital cameras are so much more convenient and cheaper to operate, but I can't deny the fascination of the old analogs.
Let alone the tension when the exposed film is returned and you're still uncertain what to expect...
