Spot Meter - Shortly I will be receiving a Minolta F 1 degree spot meter,
> a gift from my son who is working in Tokyo Japan. Although 70 years old
> with many years of photographic enjoyment in areas of competition and for
> personal pleasure, I am not entirely sure of how to use the spot meter in
> the field to extract its maximum potential. I am mainly a B & W worker,
> use a Nikon 35mm & 120 roll film, take landscape, architecture, people,
> etc; Durst condenser enlarger. I have read several books on the zone
> system but lack the experience of its hands-on application and also
> realize there are limitations with roll film. I do use PMK Pyro developer, some believe the zone system is not necessary with a compensating developer.
> I would be grateful for any guidance and advice.
