Here is the Pocket Spot in the rare red model. Most units are all black with white laser scribed writing and red LED display. Single LEDs on display indicate 1/3 and 2/3 addition EVs. The meter is 2.25" long and a little wider than 2". Body is 3/4" thick and the dials adds 1/8". Finish is black anodized over a solid block of machined aluminum. It weighs 4 1/8 oz (117 grams) with strap and battery, both included. EV range is -1 2/3 to 23 at 100 ASA. Spectral sensitivity is compensated for "typical" B&W film. Angle of view is approximately 1 degree. Viewing is by bore-sighting through the hole the length of the chassis. Battery is the 6V PX28.
