Thread: Metered Light - Whats Up?

    Metered Light - Whats Up?

    Was hoping to acquire a pocket Spot meter from Metered Light and have left a number of messages over the last few months and nothing. Now the telephone number is disconnected. Anyone know what is going on? Are they still in business? Have they changed contact information?

    Thanks

    From Paul Butzi's website:

    Update: Sadly, the link I have (above) for Metered Light is now dead. To answer the obvious questions: No, I don't know what happened. No, I don't have a newer link that works. No, I don't know how you might buy a Pocket Spot other than buying one used. No, I don't know if Metered Light will come back to life.

    I could use a spare probe for my Metrolux. I just wrote them a postcard, and I'll post here if I hear back.

    Metered Light is still around, sorta. ML is only two people and they have jobs. MetroLux is about gone, only a few units left and then it is history. Darkrooms just aren't that popular anymore, as you all well know. Probes are available. A few meters are available. I understand that emails and phone calls sometimes go un-answered. This is too bad. I have pretty good contact with the factory, so if there is something needed, send me a PM and I'll try to hook you up. The phone number should still work and the blog is the only website.

    I just tried calling the number on the blog, I'd like to get a Pocket Spot if one's available, but the number was disconnected or "no longer in service" Bummer

    You're right, the phone is disconnected. I don't know why. Karl, who does the manufacturing, is buried at his (real) job. I will call him and get the details. I know that some small amount of product is available and if I have to drive up there and assemble them myself, I will get it. Hang in there.

    I have had a pocket spot now for about a year - it is worth the wait and searching. It took me a while and a lot luck to find the one I have and I wouldn't trade it for anything else. It is so small, light, easy to use and accurate - a joy to use compare to the other meters I have. I do hope they make another run and it is well worth the price.

    I'd certainly buy one as well.
