I didn't know I could get one for $5! Not that it matters, though: I
can easily afford to spend $30 on my one and only light meter (well, I
don't count those which come as integral parts of a couple of my
cameras.) Each of my PRINTS often costs me more than $30, and the cost
of just two Velvia 50 rolls of 120 film costs more as well.

Ah. I didn't know. I thought they just wore out with too much light
falling on them. My mistake.
Cheers.
