Hi,

Your Varta battery is of 1.5v instead of 1.35v.
As analox suggested, you may try to check the accuracy of the shutter at 1/15 and below.

Else, for cheaper option you may need to self compensate the f-stops during low light or night shots.
Example if you night shots is constantly over by 2 stops, then you need to reduce by 2 stops to have correct exposure.

Note :
Anyway, for film the tolerance for over expose is pretty good compared to under-expose.
Even up to 2 stops should not be of any issue unless you are using slides.

Most OM lenses have many variations and prices of such lenses can vary depending on variation and condition. If you go backwards on this thread I have attached a few links to where you can do your research on most OM lenses and understand how you can tell one variation from another.

i think the meter works de same as on dslr..just that on dslr...normally when u shoot under AV mode or so, u can delete away some slightly over exposed shots...or under...especially when it catches the light from background rather than from the subject...but for SLR..it has to be 1 killer shots....so sometimes u need to check if there are any lightings ard the subject to determine if u need to under expose it a little or over expose it a little...

The good thing about negative is, u can still salvage as much as possible.....slides wise, u wont be able to...

ahh isee.

btw guys this may sound noobish but we can totally store the film slr the same way as a dslr right- in drycabis or boxes?
