I like to use spot meters - funny, I know, for a rangefinder guy, but they're ideal when the light conditions are funky. Unfortunately, most are bulky. Is there a small spot meter still made or available easily on the used market? I wanted a Pocket Spot, but could never get them to respond. Thanks for your help.
 
The Minolta Spotmeter F, Pentax Digital Spot, and Minolta Flash Meter VI (this has a built in one degree spot as well as incident dome) are the smallest spot meters I know of. They're big compared to really tiny meters like the Gossen Digisix, but are small compared to many spotmeters. I love my Flashmeter VI and Spotmeter F, either fits nicely in a small bag with a Leica and a couple lenses.
 
I believe there's one called "pocket spot" I've seen it written up several times. That's the good news. It's made by a couple of guys as a PT business and when they have real work, guess what happens to the production.
Physically it's not much larger than a box of matches. And not kitchen matches either.
see: meteredlight.blogspot.com and prepare to be impressed. Every review has been positive except for delivery time and you're made aware of this in their emails.
 
Thanks, Landshark. Just how do you get them to respond to emails, etc? I've tried that several times and never had a response. Thanks.
