Yes Jim they can be pricey depending on what you want. But how much is
accurate exposure worth? That is really up to the individual. In your
case you may not need the meter, something like the Weston you have
being off about 1-stop would not work for me. I need something that
works, hence I dumped my old analog meters (Weston and Norwood) years
ago and went to a Minolta IIIf. Now I use a Sekonic L508. Pricey, yes
a bit. But it has what I need.
