Re: Flashmeter's

["William Robb" <wrobb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Ket: I am a firm believer in keeping things simple. I have been using a
Minolta IIIF meter for over 10 years now (I also shoot large format in the
studio) and have ben quitehappy with it's performance. My patner uses a
Minolta Autometer IV, and I quite like it, also. The thing I like about it
that my III does not do, is allow me to plug the pc cord into the meter, so
that I can wander around the setup taking readings (sometimes I don't have
an assistant). My other partner uses a small sekonic of some sort, and I am
rather impressed with it. It seems accurate enough, an is quite simple to
use. My choice today, though, would be the Minolta IVF.
