Good luck. It's easy to do but also easy to screw up. I've had a MX
apart three times to re-adjust the
contacts when I discovered that the meter turned on when the shutter was
locked, or wouldn't turn on at all.,
especially after all seemed well with the bottom plate off.

Hello Peter,
Thanks for the info. I'll have to try that and see if that clears it
up.

You remove the bottom plate, and lightly clean the contacts, (there's a
bar that extends from the camera
top at the shutter release to the bottom of the camera), and adjust the
contact positions so that half pressing
the shutter turns the meter on, and it doesn't turn on when the shutter
is lock
Could be the meter switch contacts inside the camera. I had that
problem with one of mine.

Hello frank,
Thanks for refraining...
Yes, this MX is for Erin. She is submitting to the January PUG and
hopefully will continue. Maybe even a PESO here and there.

Ok, so I seem like an idiot for answering my own email. I just eraser
cleaned the contact in the battery compartment and the battery holder
and then gently bent the battery compartment contact up a bit. Now it
seems to be working fine again. Not sure whether it was weak contact
or dirty contacts
Wondering if there are any hints as to quirks with the MX. Picked on
up for my daughter the other day. She shot about half of one roll
with it last night and the light meter went dead. I figured the
battery was probably dead and so purchased new ones and put them in
today. Still seems to be dea
