Three Norwood Directors around here somewhere plus one or two stripped
down for parts. One went successfully through calibration a couple
of years ago. Works just fine. Keep them mostly for the memories ---
first one came into "the family" in 1949 --- for use with the vacation
film camera (Spotmatic Fs and ESIIs) kit. Day-to-day a Sekonic L-508
carries the load for the very few requirements that arise with digital
cameras these days. Hard to beat the info in the histograms.

Dunno about your Sixtar, I don't know that model.
Still metering with my L398, it's a trusty tool. When? Whenever
situation
calls for incident metering :)
Hah! How about my trusty L-28c2? NO batteries! <g>
I use it when my subject is in drastically different light than my
camera's in. If I can.
Such as when I'm standing in full sunlight, and my subject is under a
tree being shaded.
Get out my Sekonic and put the hood on the lens...
Good light!
