Hi Dragi,

What I meant to convery is that sometimes the cells go bad.  When my
non-ribbed cell went bad, it was replace with the "ribbed" one.  My point is
that maybe your "ribbed" cell has gone bad.  I simply suggest that as one
possibility to consider.

Good luck..........Julian

Thanks to all for the replies on this. I think I get it now: with your
slowest speed setting the lollipop hand is up at the upper mark in the
finder (I wondered what that mark was for)! The meter hand (the other hand)
on my SL stays two-three stops below that even for low light. Seems I need a
second visit to the repair man... Somebody suggested to change to the later
meter cell, with "ribs". My SL has the "ribbed" cell, doesn't seem to help.

Thanks again
Dragi
