I have a very nice and clean franka solida III L and would like to know how to test and see if it is working correctly or not. I first have to figure out the dial.
When I open the flap on the franka meter the needle goes from 1 to 7 varying on how I point it into the light. The more the light it goes more to the 7 the less the light it goes to 1. I set the asa to 400 on my franka, lined up the black arrow to the number 3 on the dial. The needle pointed to 5 on the camera and the dial read F16 at 300 speed. The reading was taken from the camera in a dim lit room. My voightlander electric meter at f16 read about 8 speed. I am assuming the franka light meter is off.
Am I reading the dial on the franka wrong?
