That's a new one Tom. I've seen "the meter doesn't work" because the
shutter speed is set to B and last week I bought a 'no meter' camera very
cheap - wrong battery and ISO set to 6400. Works perfectly. Sellers too dim
or lazy to check properly?
And for John R (Pandionhalietius) - bargain hunting is fun and is a bonding
ritual for lists like this. Just like the fun OT tangents. Don't deny us
our simple pleasures!
