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
