The shutter release activates TWO switches before tripping the shutter. The first switch activates the meter and the second switch locks the meter reading!!! With light pressure on the shutter release the meter activates and responds normally to changes in light levels, aperture setting or inputs from the shutter speed dial; however, if I press further the meter indication locks and any changes in light levels, aperture or shutter speed dial makes no difference. Now all they have to do is use electronic controls for the shutter curtains and we are in business. John Collier
