Opinions on Spotmeters
"Mike Jenkins" wrote in message thlink.net...
Hi, I'm looking for a used spotmeter. I'd like some opinions on different brands. I'm considering Pentax: digital and analog, Minolta spotmeterF, Gossen, Sekonic and Soligor. The Soligors seem to be the least expensive. There's usually a reason. Are the Soligors junk? I don't want to start a war here. I'd just like some honest opinions to help me make an informed decision. As always, Thanks for your help. mj I have used: Soligor spot Pentax analog spot Pentax digital Zone VI Pentax digital. None of them gave me any problems - all were bought used. I've used only the Zone VI digital for 12 years.It's a wonderful meter for B&W. Pentax digital meters have no internal moving parts, so might be more tolerant of getting knocked about. Same may be true of other digital meters. |

Opinions on Spotmeters
I'm rather partial to the Sekonic meters. I've got a 508 that's been dropped
onto concrete and other hard surfaces more often then I'd like to admit to and it still works fine and meters acuratelly. I'd like to get the new 558 but am having a hard time talking myself into it while the one I have works as well as it does. Mike Jenkins wrote: : Hi, I'm looking for a used spotmeter.
