Hi Carlos, I have had the Sekonic L-208 for a couple of years now and also enjoy its simplicity, reliability and light weight. But the L-208 is my meter of choice with the Leca IIIg and other unmetered cameras I have used. When I have more time and shoot exclusively withehe Rolleiflex I liek to use the Metrastar, becaue of its Rollei-like square viewfinder. (http://flickeflu.com/tags/metrastar) The very first SL66 I bought from a retired architect & artist in my hometown already came with a Metrastar. This is my second one.
