My first roll of film thru it came out underexposed and sure enough compared to a hand held meter it was two stops under. The indoor pictures ( i.e. the ones of lower light intensity) were 2 stops under though the outdoor shots were either = to the hand held meter or at most 1 stop under. I reshot a roll of Tri-x and set the ASA dial on the CL to 100 and the indoor shots were all properly exposed. The question in this post is this typical for the CL to be less sensitive in lower light situations? These readings were with the battery that was in the camera but I also found the same thing when I put in a new Wein Air Cell replacement battery for the PX625. Any thoughts as I have about 2 weeks to definitely decide to keep this CL or send it back for a refund. Thanks Ernie Nitka
