The problem is this; my light meter occasionally refuses to operate! It is a strange thing, particularly when it has been switched off and stored for a little while, it will occasionally not light up when I want to shoot. After some time of trying, fiddling with the batteries, praying and swearing, it might just decide to work again. I have also experienced a situation where it would come on after pressing the release button for about 10 seconds... Once it is back to working, I can usually use it without a problem for the rest of the day. I have done the obvious like: getting fresh cells, cleaning all contacts, bending the inside contact which puts pressure on the batteries and all. I am beginning to get the feeling that this is not a 'bad contact' issue, but that my electronics are flaky. Wondering is anyone has experienced similar behaviour and maybe even some hints about possible causes/solutions. In the mean time I have found the excuse to go and get me a Digisix. Have wanted to play with that for some time anyway ;-) Regards. Erik - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
