Heck, the waist level's will even slide in so you can save valuable dollars to acquire a meter. I would suggest a spot minolta, pentax or one of the new fangled Sekonics that will do flash, incident, or spot. I never really had much luck with the bizarro H meter prism's until you got to the 2005's. From your western series you sure do a good job with cloudy sixteen rules though.
