Nelson,
Cut a piece of paper slightly larger than the dimension of the film 
frame in the back of the camera. Open the back and place it on the film 
path, close the back, and fire the shutter. As mentioned by others, at 
slow speeds the CLE reads off the film plane, rather than the dappled 
curtains, and the piece of paper approximates the reflectance of film. 
Without it the shutter speeds are too slow as the meter is reading the 
blackness of the pressure plate. Enjoy the CLE - it is a great little 
camera.
Cheers
Howard.
