Re: Sankyo CME 1100 repair
Your answer makes sense. Once you have the camera in Fade-in and the lens adjusts itself to the proper exposure = you are ready to film. Fading in is only possible when following a Fade Out with your camera. Leave the switch in Fade IN and shoot away! Been so long since I owned one of these I forgot about the Fade capability...

Re: Sankyo CME 1100 repair
I just send the testing film to lab last week, my conclusion of this camera:
Neg.
1)The inner 85A filter will be swiched off ONLY when the tungsten light is mounted. (as most Japanese model) So I want to put a 85B in front the lens, I must find a tripod screw to screw on the tungsten light shock.
2)Fade in and out can not be swiched off. I must choose either in or out.
3)The light proof is made by seal arround the film door, it need be changed after some time.
4)Too big filter thread -- 67mm, but the glass of the front element is just ø 52mm.
5)The viewfinder is dark.
Pros.
1)The range finder focusing systerm(high focus system) can make very accurate focusing , it is much easier than most super 8 camera.
2)The light meter ajusting screw thread is very easy to be ajusted manually.
3)It accept the film from 25 to 400 iso, + the ajustable light meter, it can accept any film.
4)It runs at 9, 18, 24, 36 and 54 fps.
5)Powered by 4 AA bettary only, no need of extra bettary for light meter.
About the image quality and stabillity, I will see after I get my testing film back next week.

Re: Sankyo CME 1100 repair
I had very good results with my CME1100 in both B&W and color. It was a nice camera to use - typically Sankyo in its handling (much the same as all other Sankyo super 8 cams). You can always just shoot with B&W and completely ignore what that orange internal filter is doing - won't really make a difference in the final result.

Re: Sankyo CME 1100 repair
I just found out that there are 2 filter tread:67mm and 55mm.
The 67mm could be use for both the original sun shade and filter. which means It is possible to use the 67mm sun shade and the 55mm filter in the same time.
