You can change the tape size in the menu options:
*Camera Menu - *Tape size - Medium

Standard setting is ultra small.

It looks like a Canon FD lens is already attached to this thing, so... correct me if I am wrong but it looks like this thing is not going to need any mini35 adapter for that short DOF experience.

So... does it do 24p? :)

a great camera body.

metering was a breeze.

the 50mm glass was cheap and very good.

a true workhorse.

just the pix of the a1 brought a :)

thanks

be well

Man. That was a great camera. Used it a LOT in college for the paper.
