This camera tends to go under, I've got quite a few under shots from the test roll. Any guru care to share what could be the problem?
Could it be because not TTL metering? Also, I read that in some forums that it is because the mercury battery(the original batt) & the silver oxide (am using 4 LR44 scotch taped together) have different voltages, causing the meter to go pear shaped.
Most shots I would say are a good 1-1.5 stops under.:sweat:
I'm not sure about your camera but my Mamiya 6's meter is in the viewfinder, not TTL. On a bright day, light from the sky hits the viewfinder and tends to fool the camera's meter.
I've since gafferred on a tiny hood for the viewfinder such that stray light doesn't enter it.
If you camera is similar, you can try using your hand to block off light from the sky in order to get more accurate metering.
On occasion, while looking through the viewfinder, I've even used my finger to block areas of highlights (such as a bright sky) so that the meter doesn't get fooled by it.
I also often leave my camera's exposure compensation to +1/3 to +2/3 as I found that the camera tends to be very conservative with highlights.
As for the battery issue, yes it could also be due to that. I've heard this before but I'm not sure if it applies to your camera.
Testing the 1935 Thambar 90 2.2 !
