It is possible to recalibrate the meter in the 2n to the 2 series screen but
the meter is not accurate with all lenses due to the way light rays come
through the 2 series screen and how much of that light reaches the cds cells
on either side of the eyepiece lens. While the 2n (in manual) will be
accurate with 50s and wide angles, it starts to overexpose slightly with
100mm lens (+1/3 stop), 135 is +1/2, etc. Auto exposure remains unchanged.
