I think there is a problem with the ME and MES. Using just the orange filter, the TTL metering in my MES (which I THINK is fixed) shows a 1 stop correction. The data sheet shows 2 1/3 stops correction. This morning I shot a roll of FP4 (ISO 125) in my Yashica Mat, using a Minolta IIIF incident meter at ISO 25 and the negatives appear perfect. Using the MES in TTL would have underexposed by 1 1/3 stops. Bill - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
