So I got my GF's brother into film photography. All it took was him to look through the lens of my AE-1p. He bought an AE-1 and while it all works, it seems to not want to turn off when set in 'lock' mode. The light meter needle still reads and if the lens is set to 'Auto aperture', then the red under/over exposure LED blinks.
I'm sure this isn't a feature, I'm guessing something internal isn't working correctly? Or the switch is busted? It's going to chew through batteries if it constantly reads.
I would have told him to get the program because it's slightly newer and features the LED light meter, as opposed to the needle, but yeah. Any ideas?
