]]> Comment on Wanna See What’s Inside a Canon P? by admin http://www.zorkikat.com/wanna-see-whats-inside-a-canon-p/271/comment-page-1/#comment-74 admin Tue, 01 Jun 2010 18:45:13 +0000 http://www.zorkikat.com/wanna-see-whats-inside-a-canon-p/271/#comment-74 @Angel: <blockquote>How do you like the P’s finder. Does the all time projected framelines bother you. Thank you in advance</blockquote> The three projected finders don't seem bothersome to me. I've not had or used a Canon P in years. I've been looking through a few of them lately though. The frames are in three distinct sizes, quite easy to associate with the wide or normal or tele lens in use. Plus having all three seen all the time can help in comparing the views each type of lens gives, allowing a direct, one-shot comparison. Having a cloth shutter in place of the titanium one will probably not reduce the noise that much. Canon V with cloth shutters (folded around the laths) sound to make as much shutter noise as Canon P or 7 with titanium shutters. Perhaps the sound will be a bit different when the shutter is fired without a lens in place, but in use, a lens will always be on and the lens will muffle the sound of a firing shutter significantly. @Angel:

I will probably do it myself. I think that the sound of the cloth shutter will be a bit quieter... (which doesn't really matter much on a busy street) And my other question is: How do you like the P's finder. Does the all time projected framelines bother you. Thank you in advance.

As long as these are not torn and the slope from the shoulder is properly tapered, you should have no trouble inserting the film into the camera. The length of the leader can be anywhere from 10 to 11 cms (4 inches +). @Alsharif: one or two perforations coming out of the cassette is not critical.

Thank you vm in advance and best regards Alsharif Dear Sir
