Minolta Flash Meter V with Spot Attachment

[paul_mcevoy]

I bought a Minolta Flash Meter V a while ago and love the flash meter

settings (particularly the non cord setting which is amazingly

useful). I'm studying Zone now and need a spot meter. I'm not sure

if I should sell the Minolta and buy a Sekonic or else get a pentax

spotmeter to use with it, or get the Spot attachment and just keep it.

 

Money is really tight and I will not be able to afford the Sekonic

anytime soon. Has anyone much experience with the Minolta spot

attachment?

 

Thanks

Paul

I used the 5-degree attachment on mine until I found enough money for a Sekonic. 5-degrees is not exactly a small "spot", but it's certainly usable. If money is tight, then $45 or so for a used attachment will work just fine for quite a while.

Paul, I don't really like the two-in-one meters a lot. I'd get the Pentax Digital Spot if I really want a tight 1-degree spot.
