You may be able to find a good used one at a decent camera/photography store also.

I have the Minolta IV F.

I just got a Polaris flash/reflective. Inexpensive and accurate.

+1 for the Sekonic L358. With the attached pocketwizard trigger, its phenomenal.

If it's spelled Rollex, then it's a NOlex. Hi Ward.

See the Lighting, Flash, Ring, & Battery Strobe Reference thread for links to other articles and discussions.

(But you're not going to go wrong with a Sekonic, Gossen, or Minolta/Kenko meter...)
