Hi,
I would like to know how can I fix the light meter in my Olympus Pen EE-s.
I know the red dot comes when no light because I have seen it before. But now it just won't work even if I cover the sensor.
Can it just be a problem of the mechanism of the dot itself and my light meter is working fine?
Thank you in advance,

The EEs and EEs-2 are known for sticking aperture, and the red flag is tied to the aperture (which is controlled by the selenium cell) -- so if your aperture is stuck, the red flag won't come up.
I've seen a web page about fixing the aperture in the EEs-2, which might be applicable to your EEs -- if you do a Google search on "olympus pen aperture repair" without the quotes, you should turn it up pretty quickly. |

wow that was a quick answer! Thank you very much Donald!
I've found it, yes, and also your post on photo.net and your portfolio. I will take some time to look into it.
As the diafragm is in the same position and I haven´t seen it move I hope it's that the cause of it. I will review that tutorial, it's here btw: https://kyp.hauslendale.com/classics/penees2repair.html and some more I can find and get working on it.
Thank you again for your quick response,

I'm glad to hear yours seems to have the same, relatively easy to correct problem as mine. I haven't had time to work on mine yet, and I've gotten quite a backlog of minor repairs -- a couple 1920s vintage Compur shutters that need cleaning and possibly minor repair, an Ansco Speedex 4.5 that needs a look at the seating of the shutter on the front standard, and a couple Ricoh Singlex II bodies with problems, one of which I'm pretty confident I can fix when I find time.
Never enough time... |
