When using the 5 degree spot meter attachment with this meter it is recommended to adjust the reading. I've lost those instructions. Anybody know the adjustment recommended using this Minolta combination?
Thanks,
David

Hi David " If all else fails read the instructions". You will find them here http://www.butkus.org/chinon/minolta/minolta_autometer_iii/minolta_autometer_iii.htm. Best wishes, Ben.

Thanks, Ben. But.
The instructions are needed for the 5 degree attachment, when using it on the Autometer lll. I had them once and can not remember what the variance is. I think it is because the attachment works best on another of the Minolta meters and if used on the Autometer lll, you need to make a correction.
Thanks anyway,
David

I don't remember but I think the same amount of adjustment is needed for all Minolta meter that accept the 5 degree attachment.
My guess is 1+1/3 stop.
