Thank you for that answer. Actually, I was right when it comes to the EV
question ;-) I found an explanation later, at
http://www.chem.helsinki.fi/~toomas/photo/ev.html. EV=0 equals 1 second
exposure at f=1.0, so EV=1 equals 1 s with f=1.4. Looking at the table for
the MX light meter range, the point where the meter "shuts down" is exactly
out of range for 100 ASA film. So, once again, there seems to be an
explanation to even the most strange phenomenons...

Yes the meter is working correctly.
Answer 2.
Don't think so but I'm to lazy to look it up.
