Photography Battery
Why does the LM on my mom’s old XG1 Minolta not work, even though the battery is new?
I have a different 35mm SLR camera (Nikon F-301) that I’m using, but my mom seems so attatched to her Minolta (they’ve been through a lot together) and I would like to try using it.
Since I’m a relatively new photography student (I’m still in high school) I’m still reliant on the light meter. The battery definitely works, because the light on the front lights up when I switch it to battery check.
Why doesn’t the light meter work and how much is it to fix it?
Is it even fixable?
should I just get an external LM?
Any tips are greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Here’s a suggested repair – http://home.bellsouth.net/p/s/community.dll?ep=16&ext=1&groupid=267576&ck= – see about half-way down the webpage.
It’s a cheap fix, but you’ll have to be comfortable opening up the camera.
Good handheld light meters are expensive – you can try the “Sunny 16 rule” – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunny_16_rule
