It is feather weight and a pleasure to use; has a narrower beam than most; 20 degrees instead of 40; something like that. My favorite and most used meter. I keep mine in my top shirt pocket and it doesn't even weigh it down. Been awhile since I've used my Minolta digital spot F; though i love it's averaging feature and wish the Gossen had that.
