Frantisek, why do you say the CdS meter in the Spotmatic is barely adequate? I know that the merits or otherwise of full-frame averaged metering may start an argument as to which method one should use, but that is another issue altogether. I am curious as I spent Friday morning shooting a test roll with a Spotmatic, and I used a Gossen Lunasix meter to check the accuracy of the meter before and during the tests (it was spot-on) :-).
