exposure calculator / zone dial

darinwc · Apr 4, 2006

The digital exposure calculator on my minolta auto-spot II has gone out.

Is there a manufactured exposure calculator/zone dial available anywhere?

Check out the Black Cat extended exposure guide at www.blackcatphotoproducts.com. Adorama sells them.

I've put one of these together and keep it in my meter case. It works, is simple to use, and free.

When I used to teach the Zone System I came up with a mnemonic that helps remember how it works. Remembering that the raw meter reading will place that value on Zone V, think: "To move it down, Stop Down; Th move it up, Open Up."

Not 100% sure what you are looking for, but there is a zone dial PDF in the Library section of Dead Link Removed - the site of one of the writers of "Way Beyond Monochrome".

Cheers, Bob.

I LOVE this! I printed mine out last year when Mike Castles recommended it to me. I printed it out on card stock & laminated it. Put it together with an eyelet (I scrapbook), and it's solid as a rock!

Thanks, this is what I was looking for. I was hoping for a pre-made one, but jeanette gave me a great idea.. My wife scraps and stamps, Ill have her make it for me. She has all the materieals and a laminator too I think. Oh, if your curious I made a website for her. www.mirinadesigns.com
She never updates it though. =[

A must-have!
It is teamed up with a film reciprocity correction chart and the quickdisc in my LF pack.
