[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I hear a lot about the Pentax spot meters. I'm sure that they are available used. I have no idea what a fair price would be though. Here is a link to B&H' site for the Pentax meter - I suppose it is a start: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bh3.sph/FrameWork.class?FNC=ProductActivator__Aproductlist_html___41585___PESMD___USA___CatID=907___SID=F33EEFA0BF0 and http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bh3.sph/FrameWork.class?FNC=ProductActivator__Aproductlist_html___41582___PESM5___USA___CatID=907___SID=F33EEFA0BF0 Hope this helps.

The bad news is that on Sunday night, the lighing was so harsh and contrasty that I have a lot of blown faces. There was no way to meter beforehand, as the stage lights were not on until the performers came out. I used my old trick of metering off the light-colored stage floor and closing down a stop, but it wasn't enough for Neopan 1600. Since I enjoy shooting concerts and theatre, I think there's a spot meter in my future. I wish Gossen made a spot meter attachment for my Luna Pro Digital, but I don't believe they do. Can anyone recommend a reliable make of spot meter that's available used? What might I expect to pay for a spot meter? - --Peter Klein Seattle, WA - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html > - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
