		William,

		I've not noticed that happening on my CL, but maybe I'm just
not very observant.  In any case, I'm wondering whether what you describe,
by itself, would really matter.  That is to say, once you've established a
correct exposure, as long as opening the aperture one whole stop while
doubling the shutter speed (e.g., from 1/250 to 1/500) maintains a correct
exposure indication, and as long as closing the aperture one whole stop
while decreasing the shutter speed by half (e.g., from 1/250 to 1/125) also
maintains a correct exposure, then why should it matter what degree of
deflection from the correct exposure indication (i.e., centered needle) may
result from changing either the aperture or the shutter speed?  On the other
hand, if the combination of any aperture change with what should be the
countervailing shutter speed change were not to maintain a correct exposure
indication, that would call the metering into question, and I'd certainly
have it checked out.

Hi,
    I have a CL body. And I found that the metering finger moves more when I
change shutter speed than I change the aperture. Does anybody know about
this question?

Thanks
