Nikons have a long history of jumpy meters due to wear and/or dirt on the variable resistor that couples to the shutter speed dial. In the FM, I think that resistor is printed on glass, which introduces the added possibility of it being cracked - which would be terminal unless you can scarf a replacement part from another camera. If you're happy using it with a handheld meter, and don't find camera disassembly entertaining, you may be best off to just take the battery out and keep doing what you're doing now. It's an excellent camera, meter or no. |
