I'm just delving into the world of film photography, so apologies if this is an obvious question.
I just bought a new battery for the light meter, and the little bar seems to move around when I point it at stuff. However, it doesn't seem to change when I adjust the aperture. I realize that the aperture doesn't actually open or close until the shutter goes off - so how does the meter work? Is it working correctly?
I've been playing around with it for about an hour and I feel like an idiot now so if anyone could clear up my confusion it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
