Hi
I have recently purchased a FM and FM2 from a fellow CSer. The camera is in excellent condition but some how I get the feeling that the Exposure Meters of both cameras may not be functioning as it should.
I tried to test the meters using the method I best know how (or think I know how). I have taken readings with the same lens attached to the cameras and set identical shutter speeds and aperture settings, but somehow the exposure meter gives me different readings with both cameras.
I was told that the best thing to do is get the reading via a light meter but I don't have one. I would like to find out from the more experienced people here in CS what to do.
I know that sending the camera to the shops to be serviced is one option but that means spending $$$.
Anyone with advice or able to help?
Thanks
TJ
