Hi Terry,

If you click the following link... there's one there:

Just download it, cut it out, and laminate it before sticking it onto your meter.

Thanks to Ralph Lambrecht for his generosity in sharing it...

Cheers

Hi. Is there a similar way to put a zone system dial on the analog Pentax V, or the only way is to send it to Calumet? Tx in advance!

Calumet used to sell a zone dial for the Pentax V, I don't know if they still do. But if it's still available you don't need to send the meter to Calumet, the dial is adhesive-backed and you just stick it on the meter. The zone dial has nothing to do with the meter modifications that Calumet makes or used to make to the Pentax spot meters. To get the modifications you did have to send the meter in but not to just put a zone dial on the meter, they're two entirely different things.

$3.00 from calumet. search on "zone dial" from calumet's web site. sold under the zoneVI brand. looks like they still carry three types , pentx V, Sekonic L228, and Soligor

For the digital meter, it is pretty easy to print your own. Print a series of zones on paper and cut in strips. Poof. A nice glossy paper lasts a long time. The analog model would be harder.

Hi, Thank you very much for your answers! I have one more question: What are the differences between the modified by Calumet spot-meter and the original one. I have spoke with a guy from Calumet support team a few mounts ago and he told me that they still accept spot-meters for modification and calibration.
