ziyanglai

This came with a camera I purchased from eBay as a kit. I really have no use for this as I already have a meter. I put in a battery and the incident meter(without the spot meter attachment works) and is accurate. The spot meter attachment has some dust inside and is not really accurate. I have no idea how many stops it is off by. My first test shows that it is off by 3 stops and the second time I tested it shows 5 stops. If you can clean it then it'll probably be back to working condition. Comes with Gossen case for the meter itself and the spot meter attachment. Also comes with instruction manual. In mint condition. I doubt it was even used...

Asking $90 shipped. Paypal to zylai12345@gmail.com

Thanks.

You have to adjust the meter by 3 stops with the spot in 7° its on the back anyway.

Maybe someone tore off that sticker.

The correcting factors vary with chosen metering angle.

But they should be automatically transfered to the Luna Pro F.
Thus indeed the Spot attachment or the meter itself seem defect on this issue.

Photos didnt attach for some reason the first time.. I was not aware that you have to adjust the meter when using the spot meter. Will try that when I get home later this evening.

That attachment was manufactured originally for the older, Lunasix 3 meters (IIRC). It is usable with the Luna-Pro F if you adjust the readings to take into account the affect of the attachment. That affect varies with the viewing angle set.

In my pdf copy of the manual for the meter, the information is on the pages devoted to accessories - page 28.

-) I thought the attachment was the "Spot" one (with electrical contact), not the "Tele"-attachment as shown

-) I mixed up the Luna Pro F with the Luna Pro (US designations are different from the rest of the world)


The Luna Pro F has NO contacts thus any correction for an attachment must be set manually.

The corrective factor is 1 stop at 15° and 3 resp 2 at 7.5° with incident- resp. flash-light


5 stops deviation though would be off for the "Tele"-attachment

Still have not had time to test the meter yet. I'm seriously just trying to get rid of this thing. I have no use for it. Someone just make me an offer.

Yes changing the meter name for one market bound to result in confusion.

Point meter at uniformly lit wall should give same exposure with each attachment settings... after you adjust ISO but a pig to remember...

My attachment has fogged too.
