I have a Spratone Expotrol A/F Combination Flash and Regular Exposure Meter.
This came from an estate and appears to have never been used. It was made in
Japan but I don't know who Spiratone had build it. I will sell this unit but
have no idea of the value. Any suggestions out there? /jnm

Subject: [OM] Light Meter Recommendations?
Hello all...
I've finally figured that the last 2 things I need to buy in the near future
will be a better light meter and a much better tripod. I think the light
meter will come first in line to be replaced. Currently I'm using an old
Gossen Pilot. It works well and is compact, but its performance in extreme
light conditions is something I'm unsure about.
I figure a budget of ~$200 will be what I'll have to work with. Flash
metering would be nice, but not necessary. I'm going to be doing mostly
incident and reflected measurements, spot metering is something I can't
convince myself I'll need (I have my OM-2s anyway).
I've looked at the offerings from Sekonic, Minolta, and Gossen on the B&H
site and can't really make out any advantage of one over another.
I am wary of the digitals with light domes and rotating heads and whatnot.
I grew up using my dad's Luna Pro and it was built like a tank! Any
comments on the durability of these digital meters?
So any suggestions?
Thanks,
Mike
