Mine is a brown body unit with a gray scale index later applied next to the EV scale. I never used it much in the past. I always used the digital unit...until I loaned it out and it never came back.

Thanks for the info.

Odd. I just checked a couple of other forums, and apparently, early Spotmeter Vs use mercury batteries, later ones use silver oxide.
I suspect that the very old ones (they had the brown body) will use mercury batteries, and the later gray bodies will use silver oxide.
My very old gray one took silver oxides for sure.
