Without film, at low speeds, the camera is trying to read off the black pressure plate and long readings would be expected. i dug out my CLE and without film, it also behaves as you describe, at speeds under 1/60th, it is much slower than what the viewfinder says. i recall reading about this in the modern photography review back when i bought the camera. try loading film. - -rei On Feb16 23:25, Nelson Chan wrote: > Rei, > > No, I did not have a film in the camera.
