Bob,
I apologise; I was wrong. My meter needle DOES move when I turn the
filter.
I have checked the repair manual and there is a plate which operates on
a cam when the filter is rotated.
I sent my Rolleimagic II to have the shutter cleaned and when it came
back, the dials had not been aligned properly on re-assembly. Obviously
the repairer did not have a manual so did not align them before
disassembling the front plate. I took the cover off, realigned the dials
per the manual and put it back together and all was fine. I felt that if
the repairman could not do it in the first place, there was no point in
taking it back to him to correct. It could be that, because of the
complex couplings behind the frontplate, that the compensation movement
has not engaged properly with the metering mechanism. It is a bit of a
'fiddle' to get it back together.
Sorry to have been misleading
John
John,
That is good news. I look forward to hearing from you after you
have checked your 'magic.
I have to try a roll of film in it.
Thanks,
Bob
