I recently purchased a Nikon F with an FTn Photomic finder... While the body works perfectly, (as expected) the meter/finder is giving me some trouble. For my first roll through it, I used the camera manually and exposed all pictures based on my limited knowledge of light, and they came out good. Then my 1.35v batteries came for my FTn and I threw them in.. weird things happened.
First, the meter needle will sometimes jolt back and forth across the needle field. Other times I'll get a totally wack reading for an indoor exposure, say 250th at f/2, which is ridiculous. And other times it will say the batteries are like dead, when I just opened them yesterday.
Anyone else have this problem ever with an F and a FTn? Should I sell the meter and buy another (working) one? Am I doing something wrong? Hmmm...:meh:
