The actual process of shooting some film with this camera might change some of
our minds;
My assumption is for the positive.
Which retro meter would we use in the other hand? A Selenium meter of course but

My Gossen Pilot seems too new somehow. Those Sekonics that are out there (new)
are direct descendents of the Master Weston something and would make a nice match.
