I recently bought a used Omega SCA-300 color analyzer. I only plan to use it for exposure readings on B&W prints.
Can anyone help me with instructions on just how to use it or post the relevant pages from the insruction book which Iddin't get?
Thanks

That analyzer has a grossly oversensitive cosine correction. I suggest you use
it in the "scramble" mode. Place a groud plastic over the lens. Place the meter
in the center of the easel. Now you don't have to use the cosine corrections at
all. Just calibrate for a just pure black and you have it.
