Konica Minolta Flashmeter VI

Anyone here own this flash meter? Any problem with inaccuracy of reading?

Also, whats the market price for this now? It will be great it you guys know the price when it came out last time too!

Just curious!

Nice meter according to the web, but I think getting a Sekonic L-758 makes more sense: About the same functionality, for about the same $$$.

I own it and it works great. Minolta has a great reputation with light meters. I think you would be happy with it, but others would work as well.

Although I can't speak from personal exerience with the Flashmeter VI I can certainly say that the IV is pretty tough. I think Minolta meters in general were very much built to last. But the downside is that no matter how tough and reliable they are, it may well be difficult to get one repaired now. If you're getting it at a very good price it's probably worth it, otherwise I'll go along with Rene and say that on balance the Sekonik probably makes more sense.
