So I have a lovely little Minolta Hi-Matic F and it's mechanically and optically sound.
Down side, the light meter is way off, about 4 stops. Which is somewhat a pain as the camera is automatic [emoji1745][emoji1787]
I have a work around, I have a variable ND filter on it set to about 3.5 stops. It seems to work, well some of the time.
Setting the ISO to say 400 and using 100 film does nothing so I guess the iso doesn't work either.
And this lead me to think, can these light meters in these old cameras be fixed?
