Exposure meter does not work 2.8 FX

[victor_larraguibel_h.]

<p>I have a Rolleiflex 2.8 FX, and the exposure meter does not work. I tried changing the battery ( I am not sure yet if it has something to do) (Varta V28PX) the green light turns on when checked for voltage.<br>

The problem is that it worked intermittently..., but now it has been imposible.<br>

Any suggestions, or a name of someone that can help me?<br>

Best regards,<br>

<p>Try another PX-28. Many PX-28 batteries are dead when new and in date.</p>

<p>Thank you Jeff, but yes I have changed the battery..., besides if it was dead then I would not get the green light!!</p>

<p>Hi Victor,</p>

<p>There is a known problem with PX28 batteries making unreliable contact in modern Rolleiflexes. I have described it here:<br>

http://www.rolleigraphy.org/information.php#batteries <br>

In those cases the battery check green light will not turn on because there is no juice at all. Your problem seems different. The battery check is OK (green) and the exposure meter still does not work. Nevertheless make sure it is not "short battery issue" or the "partly unscrewed battery cover" problem.</p>

<p>Many thanks Colin and Ferdi, but apparently it will have to go to Germany, because I have tried everything you have suggested and much more!!!<br>
