Boris -- I have two thoughts:
-- The meter was broken and fixed... perhaps the fix has failed and the
meter needs repair again?
-- The shutter speeds below 1/60 are inaccurate, so even though the meter is
accurate, when you think you are getting 1/15 your speed is actually 1/25,
and so forth...?
Either instance suggests that a CLA and repair of this body might be
needed... and you know where to send it <g>.
