When I'm shooting my IIIf or IIf, the meter that is used the most is an old
Zeiss Ikophot. It is a selenium meter with an incident attachment that is
reasonably sensitive for a selenium meter, small and easy to use. They can
be bought for about $25 with case at swap meets.
If I need low light sensitivity I take the larger but more sensitive
Metrastar. It is a narrow angle meter (about equal to a 135mm lens on a 35
camera) and has a handy reflex viewer that shows the field of measurment.
These can be had for $60 or less (sometimes a lot less) at swap meets. (It
does use a Hg battery. This may be a problem in some places)
Cheers!
