Thank you for your comment. Very helpful.

I was wondering about the external meters. Could anyone suggest a meter which would meet my (very basic) purposes but also be cheap!

I have recently bought a Pentax K1000 camera and have had problems

with the light meter. I live in the UK and took the camera to my

local camera shop. The repair necessary is apparently just to replace

the wiring but the estimated cost is GBP £75 (aprox $150). I really

think this is too much and I'm being fleeced for my non-refundable

£15 deposit. Could anyone tell me if this is the repair price you

would expect and also how much it would cost to buy an external light

meter instead (and the pros and cons of doing that).

I don't know too much about cameras but I want to get into it.

Please help!
