Hi, have spotmatic and am wondering how the metering works?
Have read an online manual for it and know i have to engage the SW button to meter. The manual says that if needle is close to + it will be over exposed.
I have iso125 film loaded it and have set the dial to be first mark past the 100 iso mark.
I point it at a wall with setting of 1/15 f 8, with this settng the needle rest in the middle.
The manual states that if the needle is close to the + it will overexpose, thing is if i increase the shutter to 1/60 the needle goes right up to + mark, if use f22 it does the same, if use f2.8 it goes to - mark?
This does not seem to correspond with what manual states, it seems to be the opposite?
So what is the correct method to judge under / over exposure?
thanks

Very much enjoyed reading lens reviews so thought i would introduce myself as just joined.
I do children and family portraiture in professional capacity and for personal i enjoy wildlife and nature.
I have had pentax spomatic in the cupboard for last 20 years unused due to stuck battery compartment and having gone digital.
I got a fuji X-E1 and found i could use my M42 lenses with it so dug out the Super Takumar 50mm 1.4, 135mm 3.5 and found they worked great. later realised i had the 8 element 50mm 1.4 :)
Have added a few more M42 lenses including some great Takumars, and am going to get the old spotmatic working too.
M42 lenses:
Takumars - 28mm 3.5 smc - 50mm 1.4 8 element - 135mm 3.5 Super Tak - 135mm 2.5 SMC V2 - 200mm f4 Super Tak - 200mm f3.5 preset
Other:
Carl Zeiss Jena 35mm 2.4 mc - Helios 44-2 58mm f2 -Hanimex 135mm 3.5 12 blade - Auto Chinon 135mm 2.8
