It's the backlight so you can see the needle in very low light levels, it worksan addition to my question.. some pentax asahi models lack a small white circle on the left side of the handle is that a difference in models? If so is the one without the circle on the handle a much worse model, I am saying this because I saw a cheap one. thanks!
Moderators I would rephrase this title and quick.
Any advice on the issue would be appreciated, thanks.
Your Sekonic would work fine. Shell out for the spot attachment when you can.
Having used both, I still prefer the analog to digital - I suppose my preference is based on the fact that I spent years calibrating meters and (for me) the analog gives me more information than just the EV. The truth is that either of the technologies, properly calibratedl and maintained, is satisfactory.[/QUOTE The Sekonic L358 ais a very sophisticated meter, and doesn't only give the EV with the spot attachments but also has both analogue and digital readouts to within 1/10 of a stop for both daylight and flash. I have two analogue meters a Western Euromaster, and a Gossen Profisix SBC (Lunapro SBC) that are now in semi retirement, I prefer the Sekonic.
I do think some people tend to lump the Pentax 1/21 spot in with the V model.
I have both the Pentax V and Pentax digital, I always pickup the V first. I would trade a very nice Pentax digital for a zone VI modified V in a heartbeat.
