Yup. I grabbed it because the rear barrel is an exact fit for the deep lens
mount on the Belair. That's serendipitous, but I bet I ain't that lucky.
The tricky bit is that the Belair's shutter is automatic, no overide. I use the
ISO setting wheel to force exposure comp.
I'm going to have to experiment by covering the meter cell, as the shutter is
spec'ed as 1/125th to 'unlimited'.
Got a film or two to shoot first as I'm doing a review.
