Subject: Re: [Leica] Spot meter in my future?

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.
