I have an older Minolta meter that has been flawless, unlide the Sekonic
that failed within minutes of the expiration of the warranty, and was
treated like crap by MAC.
I underssstand that someone bought the meter line from Minolta and is making
them again. I'd do it in a minute. I'd even look at good used examples from
KEH.

Thanks, Chuck, I think you' ve written about this meter before, as I
discovered it's in my B&H wishlist already. I guess I was hoping that
if I left it there long enough the price would go down, but no such
luck!
