Problems with FT EE Exposure...

[drosales]

Of the few times I have used my Petri FT EE camera to take pictures, the photos have often come out with a slight bluish tint. Violets end up being blue, bright lime greens a darker shade, and lavender a bit pinkish. Instead of using the apeture as recommended on the meter, I usually adjust the F-Ring until the meter's needle lands on, or as close to the blue dot exposure mark wught next to the F.28 mark. Is this a bad idea? Should I follow he meter's advice, instead? I've also notice that sometimes the needle lands on the blue dot with the recommended apeture, and sometimes not. Any recommendations out there? Also, some of the photos have a white or dark bar on the sides. Could this be due to a problem with the lens? This is an old camera that I recently purchased on eBay, and there's no telling how the meter and lens have been holding up after all these years. A reply would be gratly appreciated!!! Thanks, D.R.
