WTS Pentax Digital Spotmeter

[Baxter]

I bought this Pentax Digital Spotmeter as a spare and haven't used it other than to check it corresponded with the readings from my other one. It did, and what's more this ties in with film ISO too! It is in better condition than my main one which I bought new a number of years ago. Without wanting to tempt fate, this one is still going strong and so I feel that I can part with the spare.

It's in really great condition. Has case and strap but no box. Struggling to find a sensible price for it. New ones listed on the web are over £600 and even £700 which is nonsense. Think I paid £250 for it and happy to accept this plus whatever the postage costs. I recall having read that due to soldering constraints, Pentax have ceased production.

Obviously light-meters are things which come in many shapes and forms. The Pentax reads to 1 degree. I found the accuracy and ease of use of the Pentax far preferable to other options. Once one has become familiar with using EV, it is very straightforward to assist in selection of correct strength ND grads, dynamic range of the scene etc etc. This reads down to very low light levels, but as I recently found when trying to shoot by moonlight at the end of October, even this one gives up the ghost when it's that dark...

Many thanks

This is a good deal from Baxter, there have been few listed at Ffordes recently for £350+ Up until last month I was on the look out for one but managed to pick up a Zone VI modified version for £250 which I considered a bargain.
