Minolta M or F vs Sekonic 508 or newer spot meters.
I understand that Minolta no longer makes or services the light meters and they will eventually die some day. Also I understand that the Sekonic has both spot and incident/reflective capabilities.
The main advantage of Minolta over Sekonic is the large lens and the clear viewfinder or screen. It is very comfortable to look through the lens. The Sekonic is even heavier. The additional metering is nice, but not necessary for LF. I do not need the flash metering.
Anything else I should consider in the selection?
