Hello everyone.

I recently got a Nikkormat FT3. And it seems like it needs some major service done. I can tell that the light seal needs to be replaced. And the meter needles are jumpy. So, the meter probably needs to be calibrated.

I took some pictures with it as a test. And I am getting a lot of under exposed pictures with lots of noise/grains. Is this mainly due to the underexposing of the film (due to the inaccurate meter read?). Or do you think there are some other issues that I am not aware of (or issues you think I should be aware of)?

I've attached several pictures with the problem described above.

Thank you for all your helpful insight. I can't wait to use this camera to its full potential!
