TPF Noob!
Thanks Luke. I'm not loosing too much sleep about the light meter, I have an old hand-held that seems to do as good a job as any inside of my cameras.
I have now discovered that the crap that was all over the outside of the camera (smoker?) is also inside the taking lens. With the shutter closed from the front it looks clean and clear, but holding the shutter open and looking through with the back open is not a pretty sight. So I'm going to have to take it to someone to try to get that looked after. I ran a roll of 120 through it today just to see what it comes out like, in case any other problems turn up. I'm expecting the photos will look quite crappy, but who knows, maybe it won't be that bad.
I have the number of a local guy that was recommended to me that does work on older cameras for very reasonable prices, so I'll probably try him.
