Covering the  cds cell increases the resistance so in effect, turns the
meter off, that's all the cap does.

| This isn't OM, but I don't think it's OT, apologies if it is.....
|
| I've got a used 35RD from Jaap's excellent www.Wide-Angle.nl (as
| keen-eyed readers of my other mail might deduce :-) ) and I've got a
| little question.
|
| Some info sources say that the lens cap works as the off-switch for
| the camera. Does anybody know how it does this? Is it some sort of
| electrical contact made by the original cap, which is a metal
| push-over jobbie? Can't see any circuits it might make or break.  Or
| is it because it plunges the meter cell into darkness? Or something
| else?
|
| The instruction manual makes no mention of it.
|
| I ask because the original cap is a loose fit and tends to fall off. A
| newer plastic cap is not so authentic, but at least it stays put. And
| it's important because the RD takes PX625's which might not be
| available once this one dies.
|
| Cheers
| John
