[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Peter, I'm using a Pentax Spotmeter V. Bulky. I paid CHF 200 (used but as good as new). Only problem I had was a screw that attaches the dial to the body of the meter. It fell off - inside the body. I couldn't fix it myself - a repairsman charged me CHF 100. Otherwise I'm contented.
