<p>I just picked up an ET-17 extension tube from eBay.de and I am wondering if my meter is suppose to function when using the extension. When I turn the camera on I just get a series of 888 8888 in the view finder, it seems as the dof preview is only working with my 80mm lens and not my 150mm lens. I tried cleaning the contacts with isopropyl alcohol, but it doesn't seem to have helped. Any guess as whether this is something that can be fixed or should I just return it? </p>

<p>I recently picked up a 6008 Integral and 80mm Schneider f/2.8 kit from Adorama. However, I seem to have some issues and I'm wondering what the cause could be. When I power up the camera the view finder always displays the aperture as 1 stop higher than it really is, so 2.8 shows as 4, etc. The other thing is that the meter seems to be off, usually around 1-2 stops under what it should be, at least according to my hand meter and dslr.</p> <p>I tried cleaning the lens, body, and film back contacts, but I'm still running into those problems. Unfortunately I don't have another lens to test with, but it continued to happen with the other film back I have for it. Should I just try to exchange it with Adorama or is there a way for users to manually calibrate the light meter?</p>
