I came by this meter pretty cheaply a while back. I kept hold of it as a backup but as I've not had to use it yet and I'm trying to slim down what I'm carrying so I'm selling it - may as well put the money towards something else.

The meter is a Capital/Soligor type (name badge is missing), digital LED viewfinder readout with a simple dial on the outside to convert the LV reading to an exposure, has a button to hold the reading and also finder diopter adjustment. In decent condition, few scuffs on body but clean overall, tiny amount of dust in finder if you look straight into a light, comes with leather soft case and a wrist strap. Takes a standard rectangular 9V battery. I'm sure its not a nice a piece of kit as a Pentax meter but then again its priced accordingly.

Compared to my Kenko-2100 meter it either reads spot on or to within a couple of tenths of a stop. It reads down to LV0 which is actually about 2 stops better low-light performance than my Kenko.

If anyone is interested give me a shout and I can get a photo posted up, otherwise it'll go on £bay in a few weeks. I'd let it go to someone on here for say £60 plus whatever postage is required (or a decent offer?). Thanks.

Hi Dave,I am interested in the meter. The analogue version is what I replaced the Kenko with but someone dropped it on a workshop and it needs a repair!!
I am on Islay at the moment and will be back end next week. I can do the PP thing then as I am doing stuff wifi/mobile b'band at the moment and don't fancy doing a PP transfer that way, are you in any rush?

regards and have a good new year.
