I've spoken with a number of wedding pros who all
prefer a handheld flashmeter to any sort of TTL whatsoever. I must
agree, having given it a go, that when split-second time isn't a problem,
I also prefer to use a handheld meter not only for flash but ambient
light as well.

I've seen a few gel holders and rectangular filter
holders with "universal" mounting apparatus (three for four threaded pins
that attach the holder to the lensmount circumferentially). I'll
research and get the names if I can. One of the advantages to the
rangefinder is with CC and B&W filtration. Looking through the lens of
an SLR plus a red or green filter is a psychedelic experience.
