    Re: Searching for a spot meter, on a budget.

    +1 for the Minolta with the caveat that it only meters down to EV1 so if you want something that meters in very dim light then its probably not what you want.

  3. Re: Was wondering who is still using the Zone System?

    Sounds very much to me that the implication of what the two of you are saying is that an incident meter is no good for B&W photography. I happen to think you're wrong about that and I rekon an awful...

  11. Re: Was wondering who is still using the Zone System?

    Is it flare free? I think it depends on where and how you do your EI test. And a modern lens with a good lens hood on it may exhibit very little flare in taking conditions when out and about in the...
  12. Re: Was wondering who is still using the Zone System?

    All I would say is to use fresh/new paper to do any tests and not some old stuff you've had lying around for years. Paper loses contrast over time and will skew your results towards over film...
