Elokuvakonepaja Hot shoe ISO indicator (red/white)

This set contains one set of four indicators with red background and white text. These ISO indicators slot into the hot shoe of most film cameras. They are there to serve two purposes: Look great and to remind you what film you have in your camera, which is especially useful if you have multiple cameras in use at the same time and you leave them on the shelf for an extended period of time mid-roll.

In a set you get indicators for 100, 200, 400 and 800 ISO. The colors are red (white text), yellow (black text), green (white text), which could match your Leica, Nikon and Canon (AE-1 Program) colors, or just your favorite color. This is the first batch of these indicators and is produced here in Finland by Elokuvakonepaja - a company that specializes in helping movie productions and DPs.

After testing this first batch in a bunch of different camera models we discovered that not all hot shoes are created equal. For example, the Leica M rangefinders have a strong spring that will clamp down on the indicator so that you will need a pen or something pointy to get it out. According to our tests, these are nice and snug on around 85% of film camera hotshoes, but as we will continue to make coming batches better, do let us know if you find a camera model they are not compatible with.
