ok /p/, I'm about to buy one of these to have fun with the whole rangefinder / film thing. I just have a minor doubt about the batteries these things use. The mercury ones that were commonly used on these cameras were banned, and now there exists similar ones (readily available, disregarding other exotic voltage mods.), albeit with a slightly higher voltage, which will mess metering up.

So all I want to ask, from a relatively unbiased anon source is: will halving the ISO make up for the messed up meter readings?

it might not be exactly half. The easiest way to figure out how much exposure compensation you'll need is to take a gray card reading with a meter you know to be accurate, then take one with the Canon and see how much you need to compensate to make them match.

Since most of these cameras are in need of a CLA anyway, you can have the meter adjusted at that time to work with currently available batteries.

CRIS Camera MR-9 adapter. Plug a silver battery into it, slap it into your GIII, et voila: Perfect metering, no need to deal with quick-burning Zinc-Air cells, no need to adjust your camera for the different voltage, no need to deal with the fact that Alkalines drop in voltage as they run out of power. Just plug and play.

It's what I'm using to run my Canonet QL17 GIII.

Just looked up this 'sunny 16' rule, handy to know.

Any more rules like that?
