Buddy,
It's entirely possible that I have the Minolta mixed up with the DT1000.
We used both in high school.
I remember thinking that a spot meter was silly -- why measure just a
portion of the picture when, for no additional charge, you could measure
the entire frame! Then again, we were taught to overexpose the crap out of
our paper prints to get a development time under 20 seconds...
My apologies to Alex for the disinformation. Excuses? Well, it was a long
time ago, and further, it was the 70's, and we were all, well, if you were
there, you know. <g>
