Minolta Auto-Spot 1° Analogue Meter
The Minolta Auto-Spot 1 is a vintage, analogue, handheld spot meter with a 1-degree field of view, designed for precise light measurement by photographers and cinematographers. It features a bright viewfinder that shows a small circle to indicate the measured area and is powered by batteries. The meter provides aperture and shutter speed readings and can be used with accessories like a polarizing filter or a specific hood for different lighting situations.
