Hi folks,
I I bought myself a Praktica MTL 50 a few months back try shooting film for the first time. I've shot 2 1/2 rolls of film and still haven't got any developed, so I don't even know if it works (silly I know!). I bought the camera mainly for portraits and "memories" of days out/trips etc, but the light meter doesn't work as it should, which means I have to faf about getting my phone out and loading up a light metering app before I take a photo
The light meter functions as two LED arrows (up and down), but they're both almost always equally bright regards of my exposure settings. Sometimes it will show the scene as over exposed when it's very clearly going to be massively under exposed and vice versa.
Does anyone know if there is a way to sort this?
Thanks
