Thanks a lot! Disappointing that my local camera repair shop inserted
the wrong battery, especially if it can hurt the meter (how do I find
out if the meter is damaged whithout the right voltage battery?).

I think I will borrow the camera a little while, shooting som rolls with
a external meter and then see the results. Will probably buy that
