Hey, I recently bought a Pentax ESII for its auto-exposure on SMC M42 lenses, but the meter is giving me problems.
The meter only works when I depress the shutter button with considerable force and electronic shutter seems to fire at one speed.
I got new batteries (LR44) which are alkaline instead of the silver oxide recommended in the manual and i've read somewhere that alkaline batteries don't have a stable current like the silver oxide ones, could this be why the light meter seems to work only when forced?
Thanks
