I can second the recommendation for Oakland Photographic Repair. I haven't been there in a few yaars, but their technicians were always superb -- able and willing to take on almost any repair. I'd give them a try. Eric Hendrickson gets good press, but he was unable to fix the meter in my MX. However, I wouldn't rule him out. Talk to both on the phone. See what they have to say. paul On Jun 17, 2011, at 7:26 PM, Bill Sawyer wrote:
