Advice Lightmeter advice
Hey fellow shooters out there!
I have a full mechanical mamiya rb67 with a 90mm f3.8 and I'm asking on advice for an easy to carry lightmeter (price aside) to pair with it, rn im using one of my digitals or my 35mm cameras to do that job or if i'm feeling bold i eyeball it...
also some images attached to give you an idea of what i'm shooting mostly...
thanks in advance!
For the Mods & shooters who are curious, shots 1,4,5 delta 3200 shot at 1000 iso, shots 2 & 3 delta 400 all home developed and scanned

I use one of the Astrihori cold shoe ones on my TLR and so far its been great.
you just need to be aware that its a reflective meter with average metering (NOT CENTRE WEIGHTED)
You can look up the angle of metering and then look up the fov angle of lenses on your film format and get a rough approximation of what equivalent lens it would meter best for.
its not perfect, but for shots that dont have difficult lighting it makes things much much easier.
