Hello all,
Frustrated this morning because I have now bought 2 light meters used from ebay (from japan) that end up being lemons
This current one is a minolta flash meter IV. It worked fine for about two photo sessions, but now the LCD is illegible. I can tell the buttone are changing the readout, but I can't read what the screen is telling me. There is sort of a ghosting of all the various numbers and such that muddles the numbers that are meant to be readable.
I cleaned contacts already with the proper cleaner and cotton swabs. Also opened it up and, everything I could tell at least, looked normal
Any experience with these would be helpful! I can strongly advise against buying used light meters now
