Hello,
Just purchased used Pentax V spotmeter. Didn't get instruction book, but don't t hink I'll need that. Just 2 questions...
1. is the grey button marked with "B" for battery test? I assume that when pushe d, the neddle shows battery ok if it falls within the black indicator in the vie wfinder.
2. The little view finder light is so dim that one would have to be using the me ter in a darkroom......is that some kind of cruel joke perpetrated by Pentax, or is the one I got out of whack? Not that it matters; if it's so dark I need that to read the dial, the spot meter isn't the tool for that lighting situation.
whoops, 3rd question (hey, I lied) On the bottom scale, marked "Linear Scale", a large arrow is marked 1:32. Now, I figure in normal use, I put the EV number in dicated in the view finder directly under that large arrow, and read the exposur es on the dial above. What are the numbers on either side of the arrow? It looks like a logrithmic scale.
Thanks, Doug
