Hi all
Does anyone know if the Flash Meter IV requires both battery pockets
to be filled for it work correctly.
It has pockets for both a AA & a 4S(L)R 44. Or could it damage it to
have both installed at once?
Better yet; how can I obtain an instruction manual quickly. I live in
Northern Calif.

Drew -

Do some basic research on the net, including the website of the meter
manufacturer. Also send a query to the email address of the meter
manufacturer's customer service, which email address can be usually
found
by
closely examining the homepage of that meter manufacturer. Got that?
Good!
Minolta is out of business. Got that? Good!

OK, OK....to belie your words and their implication that the information
is
not available to you on the net, I did work on the MInolta light meter
III
and came up with this partial list of what is available there....

http://ca.konicaminolta.com/products...cc_meters.html

I do not see Flash Meter IV on that page.

No manuals on that page.

This one has it. It even describes the other battery.

That one is for autometer IIII

I bet you dollar to donuts that you put out your post for information
without getting off your duff to do your own research because there is
plenty of similar information on the Minolta Flash Meter IV out there.
All
you have to do is look for what it is that you are looking for. Maybe -
just maybe - you are possibly one of those who needs someone to wipe your
rear end as well? Got that? GOOD!!!!

Glory be! You - like Drew - one of those who have to have their rear ends
wiped as well? Didn't you read *everything* that I wrote? Did I not say
that I researched the Minolta light meter III? How is it that when I said I
researched the light meter III you expect me to have researched Drew's Flash
Meter IV? I mean - why on earth do *I* have to research Drew's Flash Meter
IV? Can he not get off his duff and do as per his Flash Meter IV what I
did? c'mon now...just how come all you folks like Drew and yourself so
helpless? Maybe my English is just not good enough for you guys?
