Popular Photography Reviews Light Meters
Popular Photography have reviewed two light-weight light meters, the Minolta VF and Sekonic L-358 models. Find out which one came out on top in this head-to-head challenge.
“For most of my career, a Minolta has been my meter. In recent years, it’s been the Auto Meter IVF (that’s “four F”) because of its light weight. But when they introduced the Minolta VF (that’s “five F”) and Sekonic came out with the new L-358 Flash Meter, I wondered if the new Sekonic had the mettle to dethrone my Minolta dynasty. I decided to put the two new meters to the test, and since September ’02, the Sekonic has joined the Minolta in my arsenal.”

I had the misfortune of purchasing a Minolta Autometer VF last year. This meter does NOT work with the proscribed Reflected Light II attachment that I purchased for it. Repeated inquiries to Minolta have not helped. I'm stuck with a meter that is useful for incident readings only.
As a result of this I purchased a Sekonic L-508 Zoom Master to use as my main meter. I'm in love. My Minolta now sits at the bottom of my "camera bits" shelf with its battery removed, not to be used again unless my Sekonic breaks or is stolen.
Minolta can kiss my ____.

Hmmm...time to put that Minola light-meter on Ebay! You'll probably get back nearly the full amount that you paid for it...
