Summary I picked this up after my Minolta Auto Meter F was stolen, I hope that person is happy,because I sure am after that it made me go out and buy a Flash meter 5. I am happy. Dead on exposure.

Summary If you plan to buy ONE meter only, you should choose Sekonic 508/608. But if you like a PURE flash meter, Minolta V is your choice. It is accruate, well-shaped, well-designed, but too many buttons that you have to press, as other reviewer above said. It worths what you paid!!
Strengths Well-built, accruate...
All glamour, fashion, portrait photographer(s) have one!!
Weaknesses Be patience!? Many button that you have to press...

Summary If you love pressing buttons this meter is for you, otherwise look for something else.
Strengths Accuracy. Studiowork.
Weaknesses Size, Price, poor manual. To make a simple average reading you have to press six buttons!!! And this should be a professional product. On the Mastersix this is made with two buttons. I hate this meter.

Summary Agree with others, also the auto light has been helpful for dark location shots (museum exhibits). Have enjoyed using it an would recommend it to anyone who can spend a little more on their meter. Spot meter is an option you can add on. Also the flexibility of its built in commands are great (ie., flat surface reader included, full-stop or 1/2 stop option, reads in 1/10th stop increments!)

Summary This meter is so accurate and reliable. All the operation comes so easy with well thought out manual. I highly recommend for any kind of situation photography. I kind of like the new sekonic 608 but too expensive and too many information flashes at the same time , rather confuse me.
