This the camera I'm using most right now. It has about the
same features as the TL except for an LED exposure meter readout instead
of a match needle. The shutter is a curtain type and goes to 1/500
second. There is no mirror lockup on this model.
On my TL-E the underexposure LED is burnt out but I've been using it
successfully by setting it to overexpose then backing down a stop. The
self-timer works but doesn't trigger the shutter at the end. My
girlfriend's been using my TL Electro-X for photo courses so I was glad to
pick up this body for $25 on the Parts Camera
page at Pacific Rim. A good f/1.4 lens came with the Electro AX I
bought from them so I've gotten a mostly good camera plus a dead body for
my $50. It's in about the condition I expected from their ad and
I'm pleased with the purchase. Most of the color photos in this
site were taken with it, the rest with the TL Electro-X.
Batteries: The TL-E, like the TL Electro, most likely uses
a pair of PX640 cells stacked, but see the PX640 note on the TL Electro
page.
