Hi Jan:
            One of the reasons I bought the Sekonic L- 208 is also to
use it mounted on the Contax II and Voss Diax IIa RF accesories shoe.
The Metrastar looks a very good light meter with the 18º covering
zone; the viewfinder showing the area you are measuring is very
interesting too.
I thought to buy a Rollei SL66 adapter to use a Kiev 88 Prism finder
on it from Baier in München, but the Kiev Prism is no longer
available, Arsenal factory closed in 2009. Baier is still
manufacturing the adapter, perhaps I'll buy it to use an unmetered
Hasselblad prism (metered Hasselblad prisms are very expensive here)
with the Sekonic L-208 on the prism flash shoe.
