Hello,
Can someone using a Pentax V analog spot meter share a picture of how they stuck the zone dial sticker on?
I know the Zone dial itself is available for printing and cutting, but I am not sure it is to scale. Would like to verify with you.
Also, I checked Calumet for the sticker and am confused by the product name.

Would I be able to use that?
Thanks.

The one in your link would probably not work with the Pentax - the dials were made for specific models.
try www.darkroommagic.com then "library" then "camera, lens & film"
BOBO try www.darkroomagic.com then "library" then "camera, lens & film"

That is where I got the zone dial from, but I don't think its made to scale...does not fit on my Pentax V no matter how I cut it.

There should be one there that fits. Ralph used my original as a model; I printed it and it was a perfect match to mine.
From the original thread on APUG.
"With your help and others in this thread, I was able to create one. You'll find it at:

Select 'Library' from the menu and scroll down to the Pentax Spotmater V sticker. Since I don't own one, I'd like to know if it fits. Thanks."

I printed the PDF without unchecking "fit to paper"....
That fixed the problem and I have stuck the dial to the meter.....works like a charm.
Thanks!

Mike,
Many thanks. I figured out the issue and now it works like a charm.
Thanks to you and Ralph for designing this.....it makes using the Zone System so much easier.

Avi,
I was just cleaning/shoveling out my desk and found one in the original package. No idea how I got it. At least I think it's for the Pentax V.
PM me your address and it's yours...if it isn't the one you need, just pass it along to someone who can use it.
