Zone scale for Pentax V

[Michael Kelly]

Tony's PSD file (jpeg) is just right for a Honeywell Pentax 1/21 spotmeter when you print it at 21% of the image size (and monochrome, the "7" spot's a bit cyan).

Thanks Tony! (I know, this is a year later... meh..)

On the last Southwest trip my zone dial, some kind of plastic, fell off my Fred Picker "Best damm Meter the World" meter. I haven't bothered to glue it back on and guess what? Yep, I don't need it anymore, I guess I learned the Zone system. Thanks Fred, RIP.

Tony's file also fits perfectly on the Spotmeter V. Thanks Tony.

I used Dan's download it worked great.

I have the digital version of the Pentax meter. Once I got the article on my screen I measured the zone strip on the first page up against my meter. I just made some marks on a little piece of paper based on the meter, put it up to the screen, I think I needed to make a small change in the pdf size before printing(There is the usual Adobe zoom tool) to match the meter's spacing.

I printed a nice copy with photo paper, I trimmed it down, cut a little of the zone V triangle so I could see the meter's orange indicator underneath, put a piece of scotch tape on the top to cover, then double sided tape that is made to mount prints on the bottom to stick it to the meter. That is it!

Thanks Dan!
