Actually, I have been thinking about it for some time, and have tried various options like hand held meters as well as the older MC Meter coupled to the camera. The hand held metering is accurate using my Gossen Luna-Pro, but is slow and averages a fairly large metering area. The coupled meter is quicker and more convenient, but the old MC meter I have is not the most sensitive meter I have ever use, to but it gently. I am wondering if I should consider the newer MR-4 meters, and was hoping some of you could share your experiences using them. How big is the metering area? How do they compare to the M6 meter in terms of accuracy? Are they significantly better than the earlier MC and MR meters? Are there any particular drawbacks to using them? Thanks for your help and insights. Bob Kramer bobkramer@coopercarry.com
