My canonet's meter is off by about 2 stops, causing overexposure. Is there any way to adjut it to be more accurate?

First, check your battery. if it's an alkaline cell (625A or A625), its voltage drop may be causing your 2 stop overexposure. The camera was supposed to take a mercury cell which is no longer available; you can find information on your alternatives at http://rick_oleson.tripod.com/index-111.html - don't overlook the link to the CRIS adapter at the bottom of the page.

If it's not the battery, then email me for instructions for the meter adjustments. [email protected]
