Summary
This meter is very similar to the original auto meter. I do not know the differences between the two. Maybe somebody, in another review, will be able to explain this.
This is a great meter! The LCD is extremely easy to read and the layout is flawless. Has averaging and memory

Strengths
The accuracy of this machine is splendid. I took about 10 different reading of different scenes and with the Minolta Auto Meter. Then I took the same metering with an F5 and the results were incredibly exact.

Weaknesses
I know somebody who has an Auto Meter and it dropped only 2 feet. Busted. They are delicate!!
