Hello all, first post!
I just got a Canon A-1 in excellent cosmetic and mechanical condition, however there seems to be something wrong with the meter: it appears to be stuck on a certain light reading.
Whether aperture priority or shutter priority, the camera calculates the adjustments correctly when I change them, but shows the same brightness reading regardless of the light.
For instance pointed at a lightbulb or the sun and then with the lens cap on have the same exact same rating: with lens cap on and set to 400ASA it shows 1/1000 & f13
Also batteries are brand new, but I tried the old ones that were in it and they show the same reading
I'm guessing I need to open this baby up? Anyone have any experience with an issue like this?
