what lenses do you own that goes beyond f64?
My minolta IVf is a very nice meter, it can dance a little but the bells
and whistles don't get in the way of straight metering. Gives both analog
and digital readouts
The meter I was trying to find was my old Luna Pro. I'm pretty sure it
will go down that far as well as meter for hours instead of just seconds.
That's when it hit me, I haven't seen a lens scaled beyond f90. There
are old lenses out there with scales up to 256, but that's a Unified
System scale not an f-stop scale and US256 re-calculates to f90.
