    Pentax Zone System V Zone Dial sticker

    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.

    Avi

    The one in your link would probably not work with the Pentax - the dials were made for specific models.

    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:

    http://www.darkroomagic.com/

    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.
