Just out of curiousity, why do you use Weston meters? Because tey are
batteryless? I used to use a Norwood Director, but hated it. I went to
digital with a Minolta IIIf years ago and never regretted it. Now I
use a Sekonic L508. Simple and easy and far more accurate then the
Director ever was.

Same with me, Peter. A Minolta IIIF has been my main meter for years, along
with a Minolta SpotMeter when necessary. Recently I dug out a couple of old
meters, a Weston Master III and a Zeiss Ikophot, and sent them off to George
at QLM for repair and calibration. They are back now, better than new and I
may find some use for them, although I'm quite comfortable with the two
Minoltas. My conscience got the better of me: they were both too nice to
scrap!!!
