Minolta view finder 10 II Analogue camera

For sale: the Minolta 10° II viewfinder accessory, an optional optical viewfinder designed for Minolta's professional exposure meters (such as Auto Meter IV-F, Flash Meter IV and V).


This accessory mounts in place of the white dome for incident light and turns the exposure meter into a spot meter for reflected light. Unlike standard wide-field measurement (about 40°), the Viewfinder 10° II narrows the reading angle to just 10 degrees. This allows precise measurement of the reflected light from specific parts of the scene or subject, ideal for calculating contrast in studio (e.g., backdrop lighting) or for complex scenes where you cannot get close to the subject.

The viewfinder is fitted with an optical system that lets you aim precisely at the area to be measured (a circle in the viewfinder indicates the reading area). The accessory comes with its original soft case and box. It is compatible with several models of Minolta exposure meters, offering valuable versatility for photographers who need zone-accurate precision without buying an expensive 1° dedicated spotmeter.
