I'll withdraw the comment. I don't know the specific Minolta meter under discussion. I just have lots of memories of being irritated while futzing with over-featured Minolta studio meters, and lots of memories of the satisfying, straightforward Pentax spotmeter I used to own. Funny and true story: a woman I knew once who taught classes in how to use the top-of-the-line Minolta studio meter had to bone up on its operation and features before every class she taught. The meter was so complicated she couldn't remember everything about how to work it from one class to the next. --Mike
