It is a semi-spot and of course must be used as such. On a copy stand I
often use a gray card. The incident meter (Studio Delux) works fine too. If
I'm using flash the whole point is moot as flash is metered with a LunaPro
F and calculated for extension.
BTW: The "calculation" mentioned above is done very simply. I use a
substitute target that I copied from a very old Leica Photgraphy and
laminated on a white card. It reads out directly in exposure factors. Very
quick and easy.
Cheers!
