Ooops I goofed and forced myself to look into my literature. The OM-4T
advert. shows averaging sensitivity from -5 EV to +19 EV and spot metering
from 0 EV to +19 EV @ISO 100 with a 50/1.4 lens.

FWIW the Minolta Flashmeter IV (not the same as Auotmeter IV btw) is EV -2 to 19.5 but with the 5° spot attachment it's EV 2.2 to 23.7. Anyone know what the 508 can read down to in spot mode?
