Lex -

Check out the Polaris Flash Meter - it provides Flash, Ambient, and
Combined digital read-outs, for about $200 new (most are well over $300
new).  I use mine (obligatory Olympus content) when using a studio flash
with my OM-1's, and just got back from vacation where I used it to set
an old Olympus 35 (no meter) - it was fun trying to "guess-timate" the
settings for 1/300th sec, 1/100th sec, 1/50th sec (the Polaris doesn't
include these old-fashioned speeds), but I got some really great B&W's
of Maui....
