(just underneath the "P" letter there's the gear that translates the movement from the shutter ring to the exposure meter - it wasn't in place at the time of the picture) http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x228/alinCiortea/camera%20repair/IMG_3539_.jp g LE> can i subscribe to topics? or do i have to constantly return and check for new posts? i couldn't find any such option.
