That's interesting and explains something I was puzzling over earlier today. I'm taking a class in studio lighting and usually use both the Minolta meter that is in the school's studio and my own Polaris. Under flahes the two meters are very close - the Polaris is a little higher, but just 1/10th to 1/5th of a stop or so - but today I was working with Tungstun lights and the Polaris reported reading that were consistently about 3/4ths of a stop off from the Minolta. I even put the two side by side and took readings. Thanks for the explanation!

In other words, he gets more accurate meter readings with his Minolta with tungsten lighting.

As long as the photo cell's colour sensitivity is close to the colour of the light being measured, all is well.
