Need a "Soligor Spot Meter II" manual

Just got a used Soligor Spot Meter II but with no manual. Does anyone one know of one on-line?
http://www.butkus.org/chinon/ doesn't show one on his site( if anyone doesn't know this site - he has hundreds of manuals from all types of photo gear- a great resource for a $3 donation)
Thanks much, Zack

Zack,
I own the Digital version of this meter as well as the analog. Set the dial to the film speed you use. Point viewfinder inner circle at part of image you want to meter. This is usually the darkest shadow. Press trigger and hold, you will get a reading. This is usually a line in the screen. Whatever number the line is pointing at you line that number up with the outer circle, EV scale with a little white mark. Then read the matching f/stops and shutter speeds. Then it gets more complicated if you are trying to use the zone system.
I hope this helps.
Arthur

Zach -

I have an Adorama spotmeter - which is the same as the Soligor meter.

And I have the manual. PM me if you are interested.

Mine looks the same however is a Zone VI modified one - do you have an emailable version of the Manual?

He has one for a capitol meter I believe and it turns out to be the same as the Soligor.
