Hi, I'm completely new to film, although i've been doing serious slr photography in digital for about a year and a half. I very recently bought a second hand pentax k1000 on ebay, and I'm unsure wheather the light meter on it is ok. When i shine a light into it, it goes right up, and if its dark and i go outside it goes right down. But it seems much, much less sensitive than the light meter on my digital slr (canon eos 1000D), for example, i have the camera set to f2.8, iso 200 and shutter speed 250, and the needle is in the center, but when i increas shutter speed to 1000, the needle on the light meter doesn't move at all! And if I'm outdoors and I move indoors where its much darker, the light meter barely moves at all/ doesn't move. With my dslr the light meter is much more sensitive than this. Is this difference between a pentax film camera and a canon digital camera normal?
