Hi ...
I have both the Digital (Zone VI modified) and the analog Spotmeter
V. There are times when I prefer the analog view as it shows the
relationship between exposure values without having to take one's eye
from the meter, and because, in very low light, it's easier for me to
see the center spot. Other than that, the smaller size of the
digital, plus the modification, make it a better all around meter in
that it's easier to carry and use. Someday, perhaps, I'll get the
Spot V modified, or pick up a modified version of one.
IAC, they are excellent meters ... get one, David.
