Hi,
I got this used G1 for more than half years now. I notice the meter of this camera often get fooled by the back light easily, and overall the meter is a little off. I have been using HP5 and tri-X. I rate them as 320 and still i need to add 1/3 stop, sometimes 2/3. Recently I used some color films and rated them as the printed speed, without ev comp. I got most of them under exposed.
Since it's used so I am not sure if it suppose to be this way. I mean I don;t know what the G1's metering pattern should be. Is there anyway to get it tested or even fixed? Can it be fixed? How much it will cost??
I am based in US.
Thanks.
