I am baffled. I wanted to take a shot in bright sunlight on ISO 100 film (f/8-1/500 hand held meter reading) for the first time with the above lens on the Viso III and my M6. Light conditions were well within the built-in meter's range. For the intended meter reading I had the mirror up, of course, camera on a tripod. There was no way to light up the 2 arrows at the same time. Taking the lens off and holding my hand in front of the Viso opening I could balance the arrows. It appeared, there was not enough light reaching the built-in meter cell through this combination, however it was enough for other lenses to take decent pictures. What gives? Can anybody help? Your expert advice appreciated! Andras Iklody-Szabo Caracas / Venezuela
