I recently bought a Pentax Spotmatic F to replace my old SPII that was stolen. The light meter works fine when I have the SMC Takumar 1:1.4 50mm lens set to manual. According to the owners manual the lens is supposed to be set to auto. When I push the stop-down lever up (lens on auto) to do stop-down metering the needle goes straight up to the plus side of the light meter. The diaphram closes down to the aperture that is set, but for some reason the light meter reading is wonkey. Is there somthing real simple that I am missing or is there a problem with the switch/cirduit? the reason I know that the meter readings are acurate on the manual setting is because I checked it against my Canon S2 which has proven to be extremely accurate. |
