Subject: OMs and the problems of meter readings.
Date: Wed, 21 Mar 2001 11:18:34 -0000
A conundrum for you good OM people in cyberspace.
Between my wife and I, we have six OM cameras.
2 OM10s, 2 OM20s, an OM30 and an OM2sp.
The problem:
3 of the above read the same metering but are different form the other
three which read similar. Let me explain in detail. For the test we used an
18 0rey sheet, and each camera was set to 100 ASA, f5.6, and 0.5m focus.
Lighting conditions were consistent. Meter readings were as follows:
* The OM10s read 1/30 and OM2sp 1/45 (half way between 1/30 and 1/60).
* The OM20s read 1/8 and OM30 read between both 1/8 and ¼ (both
indicator lights flickering on together).
The process was done another two times, because of the differences and the
results were still the same. The question is how can two sets of cameras (3
cameras per set) be totally different in their metering from each other.
"Answers on a post card " as the radio shows say.
Await the flood of replies.
