[net.rec.photo] info on Exposure Meters

jorge@arizona.UUCP (06/21/84)

I want to abuse your knowledge on Exposure Meters.

I want to buy a good Exposure Meter, not necessarily the very top of
the line. Almost all of the photographs I make are in Black and White
with available light. Occasionally, I make some colour photographs, but
not very often.

I have become increasingly familiar with the Zone System, as presented by
Ansel Adams in his books, which relies heavily on the Exposure Meters of
the spot-kind.  What do you know ( pros and cons ) about this type of
Exposure Meters ?

I used to have an old Weston-Master which my father gave to me many years
ago, but I have heard of the limitations that the system of average-light
presents, so I am interested in exploring the newer kind, the spot-meters.

I will appreciate all you can tell me on the subject and suggestions of
specific brands, models and price-ranges.

Jorge.
