Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Minolta 8058-103 Auto Meter VF
Customer Review: easy approach and a must for studio tho lack some new feature
Summary: 4 Stars
I been thinking for years about buying a light meter. I didn't want to spend upwards of $300 or even $500 on a incident light meter so I searched and found the minolta brand light meters. To my surprise- I thought minolta was a big name back in the '80 in the photography business but I guess the name has changed hands. Upon further research, Kenco bought the rights to the name back in 2007 and so their light meters are no more- they are under the kenco name and look very similar. I think the last minolta brand meter was the model VI so I know once the meter dies thats all she wrote pretty much but I got it for $165 which I thought was a great deal. It does the incident metering in non cord flash, cord flash, and ambient light. It can do reflective metering too but an adapter is needed and hard to find. Don't know if kenco has it now that they own the rights and tooling to the minolta light meter brand. The one thing that the meter is missing and I don't give it a five star for it is the remote triggering which I know its not its fault because back then cords dominated the scene and now wireless is the norm but have to use the test switch on the camera trigger. In all, its a marvel of durability that the minolta V F came in 2002 and 9 years later its still working along other older model like the IV.
