Both of these are RF cameras with fixed lens. The Minolta uses a D76 1.5V cell, while the Revue should in theory have the now discontinued PX675 1.35V mercury. I made my tests with a D76, which has the same size as the PX675. If anything, the higher voltage should cause the meter to see too much light and not too little. There is no questions that the meters are both active but way off the mark, well beyond the limits of what can normally be compensated with the ASA setting. If my Lunasix says it should be 1/125 f=11 with ASA 100 film, both meters say something like 1/30 f=2 or 2.8. By putting the ASA setting at the maximum (800) they say 1/125 f=4 or 5.6. Yes, dying CDS cells could be the answer, but I seem to remember a conversation suggesting that they just drop dead rather then getting blind. |
