Comments
This camera only recognises 25D/40T and 100D/160T ASA but has a plus or minus 0.8 stop trimmer inside the film chamber. Adjust to minus 2/3 stop to use Ektachrome 64T. The external plus or minus switch is still usable.

UPDATE: According to page 6 of the original owners manual, it also recognises 250D/400T ASA.
