So my 30D exposure meter stick is stuck on -2 with shooting M mode and it will not move to the center until shutter speed is 30sec and any f-stop...First I thought it was lens to camera contact problem but I clean the contact point and pins and try the same lens on my 1d and XT and 40D, the exposure meter is fine. I try to shoot in different mode like Program or AV or TV and the meter stick is center at 30 sec at any f -stop. Do you think the exposure meter is out? Help please! Thanks you!

Kind of sounds like it. Sounds like the meter isn't seeing any light at all.

So you have a low ISO set and checking the light in a dimly lit room?
