Oh wow, I haven't seen one of those S6900s in a while. I remember those hybrid dslr/p&s cameras.

 

Great info! It is an Ai lens. I made sure with the shop prior to buying. I was wanting a D series but honestly it wouldn't make that much of a difference in what I want to use this for anyway so I jumped on this one.

 

In reality the sub-command wheel not active with an unchipped Ai lens attached is a good thing. The Ai lens aperture response to the camera's control is not linear and leads to exposure issues. So using the lens to set it will eliminate that issue.

BTW check yer e-mail. There's a surprise in there.

 

Thanks! I didn't have an FM2 manual either.

 

My current shooters.

 

Cleaned up. Loaded up. Test drive tomorrow.

 

Got this about a month ago. Needed a new battery and looks like the light meter is working (which is rare for these old cameras). Everything else seems to be working great after a good cleaning. I put a roll of film in it so hopefully in a few weeks I'll see how well it actually works.
