The meter needle in the the Nikon FE2 which I bought recently 2. hand is sticky. When the the meter is turned on, the needle jumps into the right position (e.g. 1/250) but when I turn the apreature ring of the lens the needle stays at it's place even if the apreature is changed by one or two stops. When making bigger changes of the apreature the needle slowly moves but after stopping it gives a readding wrong by a few f-stops.
Maybe the meter doesn't get inough voltage? Or there is some dirt (grease or oil) around the needle?
