Spotmatic F Meter accuracy

mckay3d

I just put a good PX625 1.35v battery in my Spotmatic F and it reads within about 1/2 F stop of the readings I get with my Gossen Luna-Pro S. This is in lower light situations. Should I be happy with that? I haven't run any film through the camera yet but will be using 400 ISO B&W for the most part.

When I got my 'Gift' Spotmatic F there was a very OLD battery in it still, luckily NOT leaked and I tested it and it gave good exposures so I am still using it after about two years ! I check with my Weston Master meters occasionally -- it will eventually give up the ghost though !
