Light meters prices new, used and ebay Its tuff trying too find the right one.

Being new too medium format I am looking for a light meeter and its
been tuff. Locally the few camera shops have no used ones and the new
ones are very very high..
Looking at ebay I see the Sekonic L-208 listed for much more than it
sells for at B&H and Adorama.
I really think I am going too keep looking and order a used one from
KEH they seem too have good proces and good recomendations.
Wish me luck.

The best choice (comparing pricing to quality) is in my opinion Minolta
Auto Meter IVF or VF - to get also with optional spot attachement.

By the way I just find out yestarday (after loosing 3 shots on
Polaroid) that 10degree spot attachement dose not work on my new VF!!!
It looks like is around 4f too darkie (is anybody experienced the
same?).

So is beter to by aware of 10degree atachements and stick to 5degree
ones.

I acquired a Gossen Lunasix on eBay for $10. Works great.

Concerning 10 degree attachemnet...
I found hide in the manual (is good to read it on the end of the day)
that there is custom option to calibrate meter for use 10 degree spot
by pushing +3,2EV!
