Thru the years I=B4ve been using and still have a Minolta Auto Meter =
II, Sekonic Studio Deluxe and Pentax Spotmeter. They are all good =
meters, but now I would like to have a combined spot/incident meter. =
The Pentax Spotmeter is very reliable, but is both larger and heavier =
than the M body.

I agree that the Sekonic Studio Deluxe is excellent and very small, =
but what do you do when you want to take a shot of that absolutely =
beautiful girl, who=B4s sitting three tables away shaded by the =
marquee? I don=B4t have an R8 like Ted! And I hate to change lenses =
on my M6, who has a Summicron 2/35. My Elmarit 2.8/90 and =
Tele-Elmarit 4/135 are permanently attached to their very own =
M3-bodies.

Has anyone tried out the new Sekonic L-408 MultiMaster. It=B4s a =
combination Spot/Incident, Ambient/Flash meter. I read about it on =
Sekonics home-page httl://www.sekonic.com

How large and heavy is the Gossen F2 with a 5 degree spot meter =
attachment.

Any suggestions on a small spot/incident meter is welcome.
