Back on 4/27 I responded to a question about the merits of the Zone VI modification of the Pentax Digital Spot Meter. I stated that the modification was unnecessary.
Time to eat crow. After dropping my unmodified meter I needed a replacement in a hurry (like next day!) and decided to buy and test the modified version. I found a rather pricey one available from KEH, but I was desperate.
The modified version is clearly superior. I am a big believer in simplicity of tasks. The modified meter allows me to meter directly thru filters without applying a factor. This removes one more calculation from exposure determination and by my tests works extremely well.
I am so sold on the modification that I decided to have the meter that I dropped repaired and modified by Calumet as a backup.
Just wanted to share this with you. Old dogs can learn new tricks.
