I put the cord round my neck with the meter in a pocket and I forget I've got it with me until I need it. I have even gone to sleep with it in a pyjama pocket. Try that with a Lunasix! I find the only advantage in the much bulkier Gossen meters is the extra low light capability, that I might use a few times a year if that. For this purpose I do still have a Luna Pro SBC but I don't normally take it out with me- I've got several 35mm cameras that are smaller than that meter. In your situation I would certainly go for the Sekonic. Joe Berenbaum
