Any idea what this indicates? the flag shows up at different shutter speeds depending on the asa. centering the flag in the top vf cutout readies you to do a battery check, the little silver button next to the lens. sorry to hear you're having accuracy problems - is it perhaps that the meter is still calabrated for the older 625/px-13 1.5 volt and not the new pain in the butt 1.35. I'm in the middle of figuring new asa's without expensive recalibration by a technician. at any rate, good luck - - no extra back eh?
