Asahi Pentax Digital Spotmeter

The Asahi Pentax Digital Spotmeter is a handheld 1-degree spotmeter that gives a digital readout of reflected light from a narrow angle of view, used by photographers who need precise exposure measurement of specific areas in a scene. It is a standalone accessory and is not tied to any particular Pentax body or mount.

Auction data for this meter is thin: a single UK saleroom hammer result from June 2024 records a price of £160, so today there is no meaningful range to quote, only that one wholesale data point. Working examples with a clear, accurate readout and an intact eyepiece tend to sell for more than units with battery-corrosion damage or erratic readings, and a price in the region of what this meter sells for at auction will depend heavily on whether it powers up and tracks correctly.

Frequently asked questions

What is an Asahi Pentax Digital Spotmeter worth at UK auction?

The only verified UK hammer result in the supplied data is £160 from June 2024, so that single figure is the best available guide to its current value.

How much does a Pentax Digital Spotmeter sell for compared with the analogue Spotmeter V?

The supplied sales history covers only the Digital Spotmeter, so a direct price comparison with the Spotmeter V cannot be made from this data.

Does the condition of the meter affect the price?

Yes — a working unit with a clean display, accurate readings and no battery corrosion will sell for more than a cosmetically tidy but non-functional example.
