Hi All,

I have a sverdlosk 6 which i have opened up after the local camera repair guy gave up on it. The original problem was it wont meter anything at all. Opening it up the problem was a soldered wire became loose. No small matter for me, i just resoldered it back again.

Now, it seems to be working, BUT! only indoors. If i try it outdoors, the meter would spike up so much it will go off-the-charts and give me zero reading. The indoor metering was correct to 1/3rd of a stop though (compared with a Minolta F) Is there any idea of how to compensate for this?

BTW, i tried recalibrating the meter - same thing!
