Premium Member Kevin Zanit Posted February 24, 2005 Premium Member Share Posted February 24, 2005 Yes, it will work just fine for Cine use. Just set the shutter speed to 1/48th of a second (or 1/50th if your meter does not do 1/48th). Kevin Zanit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Salzmann Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 The Pentax digital spotmeter is a great tool. Sturdy too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
