Hi Mike,
I don't really know anything about the Minolta meters. I bought and
recommend the Polaris meter. Sells for about $220 and it is a flash
meter, reflected meter, and incident meter. It is compact and works
great. I also have a Minolta Spotmeter F which is really great when you
need a spotmeter, but expensive and frankly I rarely use it. I have
found that I prefer to use the Polaris in the incident metering mode
most of the time.
