Found my old Pentax in my parents' house. Guess I left it there 20 years ago when I thought I was done shooting film.
The deadhead sticker definitely ID's it as mine (it came that way!).
Anyway, mechanically it seems pretty good, but the light meter isn't working, even with a new battery.
This seems to be pretty common for older film cameras.
Any suggestions? I watched a YT video about how to open them up and work on them, and after that, I think I'd really rather not.
This seems to be a pretty common scenario: old film camera works *except* the light meter is dead. Any of you #filmphotography fedis have any suggestions.
Like any tricks to get these things working *besides* a teardown? Or any places that fix this sort of thing for a reasonable amount of money (the camera seems to be worth $150, so a reasonable repair cost would be well under that).

Finalement, après avoir comparé les mesures entre ma Gossen Sixtino, mes Weston, l'app. Android Lightmeter, et le posemètre d'Aliexpress, le seul posemètre Selenium exact, c'est celui-ci. En attendant ma Sekonic L-208 neuve...
