>>3905761 (me) continued I've done it several times before with zero issues and funnily enough I thought it was the way that i put the DP-1 on that made the lightmeter not work or something so I took it on and off a couple of times and 1 time the light meter arrow worked??? And then another time I took out the focusing glass, forgot to put it back in and the lightmeter worked again? It's like there's some button I'm supposed to press but I don't know.
There's a battery checker on the photomic which is not registering the batteires at all so maybe they are just dead but I don't think it's a very long time ago I bought them and I barely went out the last year and a half because I have a lung condition so it just seems odd to me that they just decided to die so suddenly.
But yeah I do read the manual and I watched a video of a guy showing how to "unplug" the DP-1
https://www.cameramanuals.org/nikon_pdf/nikon_f2_photomic.pdf>Is it battery powered? If so, it might give wrong readings because the voltage/current is not in the correct range. It is not likely a circuitry issue, but could be too. If the light meter is selenium then it's probably degraded.The only thing I know in this sentence is that the lightmeter is battery powered yes.
>It's probably desilvering of the pentaprism, you can't help this. I would not suggest touching anything around the mirror with anything at all. Just blowing stuff away, not touching. You can touch the mirror tho, but be gentle. Don't touch the focusing screen (above the mirror, below the pentaprism). I cleaned the focusing glass with pic related. What bad can happen with that? It's "just" a piece of glass, no?
I feel like everyone bullies gear people who are super careful but now I feel like I did everything wrong I could possibly do for doing very basic cleaning?
>Fungus Thanks I'll try this. I was suggested to do this because 1 of my lenses had a sort of "yellow" look too.
