I just picked up a used Minolta Flash Meter II but it didn't come with the reflected-light attachment. If anyone has this meter, or another in the series, can you tell if the attachment contains any diffusing materials or ND glass or is it basically a piece of plastic with a hole in the centre?

Thanks.

I have the 111F and it has a round white dome that fits like a bottle cap over the sensor. I even have a spare one I believe.

It came with the white dome (incident-light attachment). The one I'm looking for looks like this one http://www.bhphotovide​o.com …gree_Reflected_​Light.html (external link). It's hard to tell from the picture if the white part is just the background or some sort of diffusive material.

Thanks for your help!

The reflect light attachment for Minolta incident meters is indeed a simple hole in the middle of an opaque flat disk. Note that there is a cam actuated pin switch that detects 'incident' vs. 'reflected' attachment via a cam on one but not the other.
