I've used CdS meters very successfully for years, my LunaPro, Rollei 35s, Pen FT, ad nauseam, all have good CdS cell meters. But by comparison to the spd cell meters in my Nikon FM, 35Ti and Autometer III, the low light response (where I need the meter the most) is slow with CdS cells and very speedy with spds. Thus I'd like an spd meter if one is available. Godfrey
