Eclair Cameras: Light Meter Issues

[Michael Welle <mwelle@starband.net>]

Upon browsing the web, I have come across a few different websites which 
tell the ASA sensitivity of the built-in light meter on the Eclair ACL.  
One site says that it only is sensitive up to 400ASA.  The other says it 
is sensitive up to 800ASA.

Contrary to popular opinion, I actually like the built in light meter as 
I find it much quicker and easier to take readings when shooting on the 
go.  However, recently I was informed by Bernie O'Doherty that having 
the light meter activated can lead to image flicker problems.  I was 
going to have him create an on/off switch for me so I can take light 
readings and then shut the meter off before shooting.

Lastly, I get the feelings from reading other posts that the Super 16 
conversion makes it difficult if not impossible to retain the light 
meter.  However, after looking at the HD-144 site, it describes how it 
is possible to retain the light meter with the conversion.  Can anyone 
out there clear up some of these apparent contradictions?
