I've been pretty busy the past few months, and have'nt taken as many photos as I would have liked. What I did during that period was with my SuperProgram or my Spotmatics, rather than my old non-MLU 6x7.
Over the weekend I had a project for which I wanted to use the 6x7. I had the metering prism finder on the camera, and the needle was pegged to the top of its range, no mater what speed and aperture I used. I replaced the battery with a fresh one, but the result was the same. While fiddling around with the camera, I noticed that occasionally, when I touched the disk on the finder on which the shutter speeds are marked, the needle would suddenly pop back into the proper range, usually just momentarily, but once or twice for a second or two as I held my left finger on the disk. Has anyone had this strange behavior before? Any ideas what the problem might be and what the solution could be? I shot a roll of Supra with the waist level finder and a hand-held meter just to make sure it was the finder that was the only problem, and that there wasn't also a problem in the body as well. It will take a few days to get the film back. Any thoughts and advice will be gratefully appreciated. Dan -- Daniel J.
