Hi all:

I have a Konica Auto S2 with an erratic meter and I'm not sure where to start. The main problem is that it reads roughly 2-stops off (over exposure), but it doesn't appear to be linear over the metering range. I can set the ISO higher, but the produces the correct exposure for part of the brightness range. Another oddity (probably related) is that changing the shutter speed from 1/60 to 1/30 doesn't cause a full stop change in aperture reading -- more like 1/2 stop.

I've had the bottom off and there's no sign of corrosion or bad solder joints.

Anybody have any suggestions?

Thanks,
Gary
