Does anyone know how to calibrate the meter? this is one of the older metered finders, with the three position switch (On/Off/Check) to the left of the meter dial. It appears that the meter is underexposing by 3 stops, and I was hoping to be able to simply adjust the dial, which is what can be done with the later Kiev 60 and Kiev 88 metered finders. But unlike those other finders, I see no way to remove that dial (those have 3 small grub screws holding it in place). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Basically, I find no guidance anywhere about how to work on these older finders.

Hello Nick,

I have not done this, but you might try the Kiev Report forum on Delphi. Many people who know about Kiev products are there.

Good luck.

A Google search turned up Russ Hippert's Kiev 60 Kalibration site. Contains a section on TTL meter adjustment. Looks like this site shows new style meter, so I would still ask your question on the Kiev Report site.
