Also, using lithium (CR1/3N) or alkaline (A76, LR44) batteries with the 2/2N
will throw the meter indication off by up to 2 stops. In manual, that would
cause you to overexpose by that amount. Auto is unaffected. Lockup may
result also.

| Thanks Skip, John pretty much answered my question. I thought both

| viewfinder it would also show up on auto. Not so, per John. I have a
second
| roll of chrome in the camera now with about half taken with the meter
| correction of one-stop via the ASA dial. I will finish up the roll with
the
| ASA set back to normal and see if the exposure is back to normal. I can
| pretty much duplicate the lighting I had with the first half so it should
be
| a good test. The screen is a 1-4 so no problem there.
