Hello all,

I have a newly acquired Minister III, and have a couple of questions.

1) Shutter
I think the shutter is jammed... With the back off the camera, with it on the 'B' shutter speed and the shutter release is held down, I take it that I should be able to see that the shutters are open... This is not the case. Is this so?

2) The light meter
Should the light meter be constantly showing readings? There is nothing shown on the meter. However, on the dial (to change film speed) it looks like there is a button (with two holes in) that has been jammed. Is this a button (and is it relevant)?

Sorry for the amateur questions, and thanks for any replies!

Many thanks.
