The item appars to be working OK.

It is analogue, and the readout is in EV, (along with the corresponding shutter/aperture settings) which suits me better than the Konica-Minolta digital readout which only displays one shutter/aperture setting at a time. I also like the accessibility of a direct EV reading in the viewfinder (easy tonality comparisons).

Although I tried to Google up references to this piece of photography equipment, I didn't come across anything of much use.

Does anyone out there have one of these, and could you share some of your insights regarding it, please?

In particular, does anyone hgave a link to the original user's guide (online)?

Thanks
I have and use that exact meter. Mine was modified by the Zone VI Studio (Fred Picker). I have found it to be very accurate and easy to use. ( Are the Zone VI meter modifications worth it? ).
