A, a great old camera. Reminds me of my old Nikon FM that I thought was the cat's meow because it had LED indicators in the viewfinder to help meter the shot. Looking forward to seeing your film shots. I picked up an old Rolliflex recently with a similar intention.

@stray_shooter Thanks for your great comment Ron, the FS1 was streets ahead at the time purchased, I was in Bradford yesterday giving it a tryout, btw. all my modern digital Sony Alpha lens fit and operate all the metering, focus and LED's correctly, not surprising as Sony bought the Konica-Minolta SLR company in 2006 and early Sony cameras were in fact designed using the Minolta designed A mount cameras:)
