Carlos,
You should try to clean the gold plated contacts of both the selenium cell
and the meter on your 3.5F. It worked well for mine. I used a pencil eraser
sharpened to a point.

I am a forester by profession and thus spend a great deal of time in
forests. I have found that satisfactory photos of forests can only be
obtained on cloudy days with slide film. The contrasts are just too much
otherwise for the film to deal with. Velvia 100 is my favorite film for such
use.

Regards,
Allan
