andrew_pell Posted January 4, 2003 Share Posted January 4, 2003 Hello all, I've finally taken the plunge and bought a Pentax digital spotmeter to hopefully get round my gripes with a starlite and was wondering where to get hold of a Zone VI sticker for the barrel in the UK. Calumet in the UK doesn't list them (they used to) but they and B&H Photo do in the US. I know I could make up a numbers label myself but wanted the version with the tones already on so I can get a bit more experience placing zones (my pc printer isn't up to the job of doing it). Does anyone know of anywhere over here that might stock them? (Robert White doesn't as I asked when I bought the meter). If it comes to it I might just fire of an order to the US and see what happens. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_hall6 Posted January 4, 2003 Share Posted January 4, 2003 Calumet sells them. Every time I go to the Calumet website it asks whether I speak dollars or pounds, so I assume Calumet is in the UK. I think they sell them exclusively. You'll LOVE the Pentax spot, by the way. It is a simple, intuitve workhouse. dgh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew_pell Posted January 5, 2003 Author Share Posted January 5, 2003 Thanks David - looks like I'll have to give them a ring to see how up to date the website is. They list a sticker for the Soligor meter (ZN6530) which looks like it should fit the Pentax digital as it's straight (I thought the Soligor took one like the Pentax analogue meter?). The part no. from the US Calumet is ZN6536 for the PDSM. Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew_pell Posted January 7, 2003 Author Share Posted January 7, 2003 Unfortunately Calumet UK doesn't list the sticker and the US site says they are expecting stock sometime at the main warehouse. (Went through the order process to find s&h costs is 41 dollars for a 6 dollar order :-( - what's up with putting 2 stickers in an envelope and using a stamp?) B&H haven't replied to an email I sent and I can't get onto the View Camera site (was Darkroom Innovations?) to see if they supply... I'd heard mention that an Ansel Adams gallery sold them - does anybody have any details? I can't seem to find anything about Zone VI Studios - was it swallowed / sold out totally by /to Calumet? Thanks for any further info... Andrew PS this looks like the start of a wild goose chase... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Gregg Posted January 23, 2003 Share Posted January 23, 2003 Calumet has them in stock, I just recieved two, the cost is $3.00 eachstock number is ZN6536, part number is D707. these are U.S. numbers and prices it took about 10 seconds to install, even less if you are adept than me.

andrew_pell Posted January 24, 2003 Author Share Posted January 24, 2003 Thanks for the reply Bill - I ordered a set from the US Calumet site and asked them to contact me regarding the shipping costs - I didn't want to pay $5 export charge and $40-odd Fedex charge for a $6 order. I got an email saying that they would sent them in an envelope for $1 s&h charge. Thanks to Calumet for understanding the situation. I've now got 2 stickers from the States probably for less than 1 plus s&h charges over here! Now got to go out and practice with the readings... :-) Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
