Hi, are there any tricks or modifications that one can do to make the
XA/LC-A correctly expose ISO 1600 (or even ISO 3200) film? The
ISO-settings on the XA range from 25-800 and from 25-400 on the Lomo.

I think the Lomo will be the easiest to open up, would it be possible
to solder on one resistor so that the electronic shutter became twice
as fast? (i.e. ISO 400 becomes ISO 800). How about making the
light-meter window even bigger? Anyone tried this?

Any help at all deeply appreciated.

Regards,

Kevin Smith

Set the camera to 800 and under expose every shot one stop for 1600, or two
stops for 3200.
