It is a horibly designed, barely functioning piece of junk. I suspect it can take an accurate reading on the rare occasions that it works. Biggest problem is that the batteries corrode quickly. Everytime I would go to use it, I would have to clean batteries and compartments, sometimes several times in same day. the attechments are so clumbsy to use--you don't. I have several attachments, including a ground glass screen attachment. I have thought of selling it, but don't wish to dump it on someone. Trust me, just look elsewhere--like gossen or Seconic or Minolta. Next time I clean out the storage cabiner the Quantum is going in the trash. donal - -- Donal Philby San Diego http://www.donalphilby.com
