Yeh, adding a light meter to the kit seems a stretch. But if Pentax has a histogram review of exposure on the LCD ala the D100, there's no need for a light meter. I review exposure between shots by looking at the shape and location of the histogram, and check for blinking outlines that signify burnt out highlights. -- John Mustarde www.photolin.com
