You could probably get one to work with a lot of careful effort by blackening the insides of the the film chamber and also the prism housing, as well as blocking holes and gaps where light might leak in from adjacent parts of the camera. Filling the gaps where mechanical things were going on could be a challenge. In 1987 I fondled the first-gen EOS speedlight (300? don't recall for sure) cast in clear plastic. Given to us by chief designer of EOS line during a visit to one of his microcontroller vendors (us). We also received an EOS 650 for the same reason, but it was cast in the usual black. -DGW * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
