I don't know thw Quickmatic except on paper, Darin, but to judge from the
specifications the simplest way to test the camera would be to "waste" money
on some film - but get it while you can. As of the beginning of 2007 only
Ferrania in Italy manufactured 126 cartridge film. I believe that Ferrania
ceased production in April :-(

Subject: [OM] Re: Olympus Quickmatic EEM?
Hi David,
$45-60, wow, that's more than I expected. I see Adorama currently has one
listed in excelent condition for $37.50.
I actually found a picture of the instructions by doing a search, which
rather surprised me. So, no need to hunt down your copy.
Do you know much about the Selenium light meters in these cameras? Like what
are the chances that it's still working, or how to know if it's still
working, before I waste money on film that won't be properly exposed?
Thanks for the reply,
Darin
