Hi folks,

Only four or five shots into the third roll I glanced at the ASA dial and it was off the 50 setting again! This time I remembered that I had just added one stop of compensation when taking a picture of a waterfall so I tried rotating the dial again and, sure enough, the film speed changed. I fiddled with the dial a little more and found that, most of the time, I could set the exposure compensation normally but occasionally doing so would change the film speed.

So, has anyone else experienced a problem similar to this and developed an easy cure? OK, I know I can discipline myself and check the film speed anytime I make exposure compensation adjustments but I'd rather concentrate on other things. I'm hoping that someone has found that something like the judicious application of a drop of oil will fix it.

I definitely have similar problem and tend not to use the exposure compensation, partly because of this. Also, I found that if I need to compensate for the exposure, I may as well just use the multi-spot anyway :-O
