    I have that meter. I paid more than that when I bought it new. It is an excellent meter, so if it is in good shape I would say that is a fair price. I like the EV mode. Have never used the larger spot mode. It is on the large size. It is a great zone system spot meter although I must say I have migrated in the opposite direction using the diminutive Gossen Digisix incident meter for zone system work. But I don't think you will find a better spot meter at that price.

    Wow! I paid $750 for mine new... and I'm on my third meter. I crushed the first one in a fall and drowned the second one in the Merced River in an unplanned winter swim.

    I love the feature that visually lets you set the dynamic range for the film you are using. A very intuitive meter to use.

    Rick, OP=Original Poster(?) That's what I get for trying to sound like I'm computer savvy. Sorry.

    If I remember correctly the meter was over $700 when I bought mine too. Way more than I had paid for any meter previously. Or since. Still wouldn't part with mine though.
