Minolta Color Meter II

The Minolta Color Meter II is a dedicated colour temperature meter designed to help photographers understand the colour of the light they're working with.

Rather than measuring exposure, it measures the colour temperature of ambient or flash light and gives you a reading in Kelvin. It can then calculate the appropriate colour correction and light-balancing filter values, making it useful when shooting colour film or working with different light sources.

It is particularly handy when you're dealing with mixed or changing light and want to know exactly what you're working with before making a photograph. The digital display keeps the readings straightforward, while the compact handheld design makes it easy to take with you on a shoot.

For film photographers, it's an interesting piece of classic Minolta equipment and a useful reminder of how much of the photographic process was once handled separately from the camera itself. (stand not included)
