from Ebay, auction Summary: A d*** good light meter. Very durable, easy to use and accurate. I will most likely use this light meter for the rest of my life.
the attachments are inexpensive compared to most and, although appearing somewhat archaic, work perfectly. I, also, have the variable spot and darkroom accesories. Strengths: Great, reliable meter. The ability to null the meter and be able to take incident and flash readings without resetting is great--it leaves the mental math out and allows things to move a bit quicker. And, it is virtually indestructible. The meter's needle is also accurate and easy to read quickly.
Great for zone-system use as well, although I do not use it this way. Weaknesses: Like others have said, no pc flash socket. A serious drawback in portraiture work especially (one needs to either carry around a small flash to fire slaves or use a seperate remote release).
Also, as another user noted: the incident globe is pretty small, and being at the top of the meter is somewhat harder to aim than other front mounted models. Similar Products Used: Minolta digital meter (forget which model) Customer Service: Haven't had any problems. Bought the meter used and still reads perfectly.
