Hello. My recently given electro 35 MC subexposed aprox. a pair of steps. It seems a frequently found issue with this camera. I have adjusted it very simply. Just dissassembly the top cover and two adjustable resistors are exposed. Seeing from the rear of the camera, the right one (IIRC) is used to adjust the green light (battery check). The left one controls the exposition. In my case, I chose an f number such as the correct speed was about 1 sec. It is easy in a medium bright room. You have to use either a meter or camera with a meter. Then you turn the resistor (in my case counter clock wise), until the exposition time is aprox. 1 sec. That's all. The camera seems to expose correctly now. Of course, if you try this, do at your own risk.
