    Minolta AutoMeter IIIF 5 dg viewfinder

    Hello: I own a Minolta Autometer IIIF and, after a long time without using it, I need to begin before. I have a 5degree spot viewfinder, and although I know a correction must be made to use it, I don't remember WHICH is that correction. I would thank anybody who provides me this information. Thank you very much

    On the Flashmeter III the correction factor is -1.2 stops. If that doesn't sound right and no one else comes up with it, I'll check my files later to see if I can find the instruction sheet.

    According to the Minolta literature that comes with the 5 and 10 degree viewfinder you should change the displayed value by 1.2 stops for the 5 degree viewfinder (f/5.6 becomes f/8.2). Len

    Thanks a lot. I made a test over a Kodak Gray Card and it seem to be about 1 f stop, but I knew it should not be very accurate. Thank you again. david ;-)
