Digital Spotmeter Summary: I like the digital EV readings in third-stop increments. In manual, it has allowed me to get control of difficult lighting situations--no more muddy yellows and bluish snow.
Also, when using filters, I just reset the "calculator" dial to account for the filter factor, get my EV reading, and choose the shutter/aperture pair that suits the situation. I have had my meter for about eight years---never serviced. Recently I checked it against two other Pentax meters and they all agreed, right to the 1/3 stop. Strengths: The narrow angle allows scene brightness ratio to be determined accurately, and is absolutely necessary when applying the Zone technique for color. Weaknesses: None. My meter was modified by Zone IV to provide uniform reading for all colors. Not an absolute necessity, but i wanted everything working for me when applying the Zone technique. Similar Products Used: Only built-in (10-degree) spot and Ultra-Pro (not with spot adapter). The one-degree angle gives much more precise readi Customer Service: None has been required.
