I've read yesterday on a French forum, a guy with a canonet problem, in A mode, the needle shows 1,7 and the lens open to 2,8.
I checked one of my canonets and i got exactly the same problem, i noticed that this GIII QL17 is a different type from my other ones, it's written on the back "made in taiwan R.O.C" and there's a piece of plastic in the back, on my other GIII the piece is in iron.
May be this problem happens only with only those models??
There is a kind of delay (or decalage?sorry for my bad english) between the apertures and the meter, the meter is good but the aperture is wrong.When the needle say F4 it opens to 5.6, F11< F16, F16<~F16,2
The problem occurs only in A mode.
I though it was a meter problem, but the meter is accurate according to my leningrad 8.
There's not a lot of canonet specialist in France, so i ask for your help guys.
Got an idea?
