 Look Will, you are totally missing the point.  We are trying to fix cameras here.  We aren't in the business of advising people what cameras to take photos with.  We are technicians, we know ANY camera will take a decent photo if adjusted properly.

 I think that our moderator's exceptional patience has finally been worn out.
 
Of course it took someone who couldn't take a hint about being non-responsive and completely off topic.  I think it is impossible to reason with people who do not und

 All this is not only amusing, as it puts up very serious questions: if one of the members (is there a clear-cut definition of this term with respect to a forum like this ?) is branded as being an unknown person appearing from the darker corners of this

 WernerJB, we are not trying to censor Will.  Heck, if I was I would have just deleted his messages.  Rather I (and we) were trying to show him how his statements were completely inappropriate for this forum.  The purpose of this forum is to help peop

 Oh, thought that was all solved.  Figured Harlee would try to scrape off the white stuff.  That or just send the camera to you (Glenn) for analysis.  Either way, it seemed like a done deal.

I think I'll open a new thread since we are only cluttering up Harlee's A-1 thread.

 Don't know much about Canons, but Will's definitely got my vote on the Minolta X-cameras, especially the later produced models.  The quality of the components is inexcusable.

 Hello! I have readed this discussion with a great interest.
 
I have the A-1, also with metering problems. All shots are underexposed on about 2EV (hopefully, this still can be compensated with Exposure Compensation Lever).
