Yes, I have one of these. Re-filtered, re-baffled, and re-calibrated by Zone
Vi. It doesn't do exactly what you say it doesn't do. It is great for real
zone
system photography. That's why my daughter uses it. She is a zone system
expert. I rarely use it as she always has it. I use a Luna Star F2 and a Luna
Pro Digital instead. The F2 has a spot attachment just in case I get zone
fever.
