didn't know that, thanks! now the image in the viewfinder becomes darker depending on aperture which makes sense. needle still stops halfway though :(

I thought it might not be the battery since the needle does move and show overexposure and battery level. Will try different lens this weekend.
Would you bother fixing a broken meter?

Hey guys,
recently bought my first analog SLR, a Asahi Pentax Spotmatic F. Using a Danubigon 1:2.8 f=35mm lens with it. Battery is a 1.5V Energizer Alkaline. When metering I have noticed that the meter moves up to the + point perfectly fine but never goes into the - even if it should be very underexposed. It just stops in the middle. Also does not react to aperture change at all, shutter speed does though.
I'm just wondering if this is normal since I am a little worried the meter is stuck or broken, which I find annoying haha I know I can just use my DSLR or seperate light meter but like just using the camera on its own!
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
Seb
