Erratic photometer

[estudleon]

Bought two cameras fujica and the third - free - it's a fujica ST 801 with erratic photometer.


Is it so bad? Anybody knows what can I do? It's a nice camera.

It depends what's causing it. If it's a worn-out variable resistor under the ASA dial or aperture control within the body, there's probably not a lot you can do with it. On the other hand, it might just be a dry joint or another dodgy connection - perhaps as simple as the battery contacts or the wires to them.
Even if it's unfixable, there's always manual metering.

Thanks, Farside, very much.
