The exposure reading is way out, about 3 stops over, waiting for a test film to come back. Tried it with various lenses both 3-cam and ROM. <<< Which metering pattern, spot, average or matrix? If the spot meter has gone bad the other meter patterns will over-expose a few stops and the spot meter will overexpose by many many stops. A bad spot meter means a mirror box replacement (USD$$$).
