Hi, I have a Konica Auto S2 I need some help on. It's in mint condition though the light meter acts strangely. With the lens cap on in complete dark it reads f4. In any kind of light it pegs at f16. The shutter, aperture & iso settings don't seem to affect this behavior much. It has a new battery with the correct voltage. I took the top plate off and didn't see an obvious way to adjust the Sekonic meter. Took the bottom plate off and didn't see any visible corrosion with the battery connections. Took the front element off and the connections to sensor seem sound. I know I can just put a modern light meter in the shoe and be on my way, but it would be nice to use the auto capability in a pinch. Thanks! Kevin
