Posted on Monday, March 14, 2011 - 12:24 pm:        I have a couple of Olympus Pen FT SLRs where the meters need adjusting. I’m using 675 zinc-air cells in them, and the meter in one reads one stop too bright and the other reads 3 stops too bright. If there was a problem with dirt or a corroded battery wire, I would expect the meter to read low (indicating that the light was darker). My question is, how can I adjust the light meter?   Standreww_warhola Tinkerer Username: Standreww_warhola Post Number: 10 Registered: 04-2011 Rating: N/A Votes: 0 (Vote!)

I'm looking for a replacement myself but still I have no idea.
