For Sale FS Gossen Spotmaster/Ultraspot 1 degree spot meter. Excellent +++ condition £80

[david trumper]

For sale is my Gossen Spotmaster (branded Ultraspot in the USA) 1 degree spotmeter. It comes with case and instructions. It is in excellent/near mint condition. The glass is perfect. The only marks I can see on the body are a couple of minor marks around the filter ring.

The advantages of the meter are:
Highly specified (it includes a flash metering option and zone metering) and accurate and price (they are being advertised on E bay for well over twice my price).
The disadvantages (compared to my pentax spotmeter) are that it is bigger, it can sometimes be difficult to read in bright light and the battery on these spotmeters drains if you leave it in the meter for long periods of time - so disconnect it if you are going to do that.

I am based in the UK. The cost of special delivery in the UK is £8, Airsure tracked and insured to Europe £13, Airsure tracked and insured to rest of world £17.

If you are interested, please PM me.

Regards

David

The meter reached my house in very good cosmetic and working condition as advertised, so two observations:

a) Seller is honest and good to make business with;

b) The Gossen Spotmaster is unexpectedly bigger than my Minolta Spotmeter F. If I had known it I would have looked for another Minolta. Anyway it is a bit more sophisticated than the Minolta: better visualization, better low-light sensitivity, better luminosity of the optics, overall I think better engineering.

Don't underestimate your portable and discreet Minolta Spotmeter. My one after a fall has a problem with the inner display (some segments not working) but the outer display works well, so for slow use it is still very good. I suspect I will bring it with me more often than the Gossen, even if it became slower in use.
