Spotmeter III

Selective exposure photography … the most advanced concept in reflected light meters. The Spotmeter III utilizes an optical reflect system which gives a 21° angle of view on the ground glass screen. In the center of this viewing screen is a 1° circle which represents the angle covered by the meter's CdS sensing element. For this reason, it is extremely selective, permitting precise exposure reading at longer distances, and gives greater control over exposure problems. Light intensity is read directly from the engraved scales on the viewing lens. For dark area reading, a scale illuminator glows when a button is depressed. Exposure is calculated easily by turning movable scales on the side of the meter. The Spotmeter III is also equipped with an IRE (Institute of Radio Engineers) scale, which is especially useful for television filming and other special readings.
