Hi Umut. I am surprised at the UK price for the Shepperd.I thought this item was a 3rd choice as far as light meters go. Also, 120 film, have you thought to try Shanghai GP3? It is better than just OK and you can get out of Taiwan [ i think, e-bay of course including shipping at about US 40.00 for 10 rolls. The film pushes well to 200 and I have got good results at 400.
Of course good results are subjective.

"Wonderful ideas but I can only pay by monthly payment. I know in USA and Europe , everything works with cash but nobody have cash in their pocket here. Homes, cars to bread to lemon goes with credit card and minimum monthly payment."

LOL! Nothing new there! I put 4L of soy milk on my credit card yesterday. The night before was a roast chook. I don't carry cash at all.

If you have a smartphone (particularly an Android one) then try a light meter app first.

I use the BeeCam one on my HTC, it's an incident meter and seems pretty effective assuming you know how to use it (you need to make sure that the light level falling on the meter is the same as that falling on the subject). It worked fine in woodland with uneven lighting, both heavy overcast and sunlight (different days).

I've used it with both the Zeiss Ikon and the Bronica ETR now, no exposure problems with either.

Read the past posts first, this is not an option for him.

Stone , thank you for your help. One APUGer from New Mexico who is locomotive engineer has offered me his spare one.
Thanks everyone , my Cosina have no electronics working and I was in need for Nettar also. Thank you Railroad man.

And Thank you all for all of your efforts to help.

What a lovely thing to work on these diesel electric things, I wish this economic crisis dont effect the producers and workers.

My sister was a PhD student at Harvard and She visited New Mexico 5 months ago. She appeared at local newspaper as the rare few student researcher who visited Carlsbad and stayed there for a month

Thanks again,

Umut
