Pat,
I have had my 8008 since I bought it new back in the late 80's.
Here's how mine works:
Either Program mode: Slide the AE-lock over and hold it, then
lightly depress the shutter button (not heavy enough to fire the
shutter). If you didn't depress the shutter button slightly, the
exposure will not be 'locked'.
A, S, and M modes:Simply sliding the AE-L over and holding it there
will freezes the meter, aperature and shutter readings.
That's how mine works,
Hope this helps,
Mike Davis
