I don't suppose, Boris, that it is possible that you changed the light
level when you moved your hand to the pentaprism to tap it? Perhaps
you shielded the light source and affected its passage to either the
lens or the viewfinder... just a thought.

The meter should NOT change reading when tapped! It should move
smoothly and easily as the aperture and speed are changed. Tapping
firmly with a finger causes it to wiggle a little, but come to rest
where it was. Whether it was not completely fixed before or has gone
bad since, it is clearly not working properly. There is dirt in the
meter housing, broken pivot jewel, bent or out of place spring, etc.
etc., causing friction in the meter mechanism. Who fixed it, and when?
Do you have recourse to them?
