The MX film wind-on lever has a stand-off position, whereby the wind lever only starts winding film and cocking the shutter from this position. The stand-off position is also used as a facility to keep the light meter switched on after half-depressing the shutter button to activate the meter. EG, move the film wind-on lever to stand-off position, presss the shutter release button gently, and you will feel a click as the meter locks into the on position. Or leave it in the fully retracted position and just gently press the shutter release to activate the meter, switching it off after moving your fingfer off the shutter release. I think I could have explained that better ;-) HTH Cotty ____________________________________ Oh, swipe me!
