Last spring I bought a Nikon F2 with a DP1 meter and I love it to death. But for one reason or another I never had a chance to use it in dim lighting until last weekend. One roll shot at twilight was under exposed, the second shot at night was black with but a few bright lights. I was using a 50mm f/1.2 lens for both.<br>
After checking the meter against the other meters I own, they all match up in better lighting, but the dimmer it gets, the more off the DP1's readings become. By about four stops in some cases.<br>
I checked the batteries and they're fine. I have read something that suggests the modern 1.5v alkaline batteries don't work well with a meter built for 1.3v mercury batteries. But I want to exhaust all options before I scour e-bay or start metering everything with my iPhone or dust off my old Minolta...<br>
Thanks in advance for your knowledge share.</p>
