Sold KENKO KFM-1100 Auto Digi Light Meter (Minolta Auto Meter IVF)

bellyface · Jul 8, 2024

Just recently upgraded my light meter so I'm dropping this here. This is the Kenko KFM1100 ambient light/flash meter. This resembles the Minolta Auto Meter IVF because it is. When Minolta became Konica/Minolta, their meter line patents and products were all sold to Kenko. It’s literally identical, except for the branding.

This works fine! Condition is good except for the case window is cracked.

SOLD- $100 shipped/paypal

Here's one more tid-bit. That's a "Minolta AutoMeter IV F", not an AutoMeter IV. The AutoMeter IV came out in 1985, while the AutoMeter IV F didn't show up until 1992 -- and added flash capability. That might make a difference to buyers. Good luck.

That makes perfect sense. I appreciate the suggestion.

Another tid-bit. There is no Autometer IV without the F. (there were the Autometer III and Autometer III F as well as the Flashmeter III) The one introduced in 1985 was the Flashmeter IV and it did measure flash and in fact has better flash capacity than the Autometer IV F mainly it can measure flash at all shutter speed and not limited to a few shutter speed.

You're right -- I was calling the FlashMeter IV the AutoMeter IV, by mistake. Thanks for the correction. These Minolta meters are confusing enough without me making things even messier.
