I had trouble with my ME Super metering once ... underexposure. I moved the speed selector dial back and forth a dozen times and things went back to normal. That was a couple of years ago - that camera reads the same as the other Pentaxes I have here - checked this afternoon - exactly. I've got into the habit of checking one against the other before doing anything serious. I usually take a reading or two with the Seconic as well to be sure.
