Just got a call from a fellow photographer saying her viewfinder meter is metering backwards. When it is overexposing it is reading as underexposing. Any ideas on what is going on here?

By that I mean I don't arrange things. If I stand in front of something, instead of arranging it, I arrange myself" -Diane Arbus
