Light Meter "pegs" on Asahi Pentax Spotmatic in Pentax Posted November 29, 2003 I have a 33 year old Asahi Pentax (one owner!).....I've been reading all the information on batteries (very helpful)....and found a replacement (s400PX 1.5V silver oxide at a local Battery PLus store)....however, I have a problem with the light meter....it pegs on the "+end" of the scale and will not budge no matter the fstop, ASA setting or shutter speed adjustments....anyone have an idea of the problem? This camera has been perfect and even survived the first year in Vietnam...am hopeful someone has the answer. (the battery is installed per the manual with the + toward the top of the camera)
