My TLR finally arrived, after it waited quite a bit in its box waiting
for snow to go away so the truck could actually deliver it (that was
so hard to wait...).
Although the camera needs a cleaning (expected) and a new focus screen
would be good as well, the urgent need is for a meter.
Of course I can use the K7 but that's not exactly that easy. If I can
avoid the bulk, I'll do it.
I have Studio flashes but have no Flashmeter which means trial &
errors is a little annoying: a flashmeter would be a good thing.
But wouldn't using a modern flashmeter (and a C330 TLR) outside not
getting too much attention on me/the camera ?
A Sekonic 308/358 is fine at home but outside?
Maybe a second hand meter from Eekbay would be of any value (if those
still deliver any consistent results)?
Heard a lot of good from Minolta flashmeters (III,IV and V) as well.
Really, a simple old CdS meter might be good enough for using outside
with the C330? Or would a modern Sekonic/Gossen meter really add much
more?
I have found the Sekonic L-408 Multimaster meter to be an excellent all
around meter.
It does ambient, flash (cord & cordless), and reflected light metering
using a 5 deg spot viewfinder. It's water resistant.
The lumisphere retracts for contrast measurement, and it has multi-flash
capability for measuring cumulative flash exposure.
Powered by a single 1.5v AA battery.
Plus they don't usually cost as much as some meters with less capability.
