polaris flash meter.
I've had one for many years, and have tested it side by side with sekonic it is accurate.

Fired many shots. Didn't kill anything.

Selenium meters aren't as sensitive to low light as the more modern designs are (and of course they can't do flash), but having said that I use an Ikophot selenium meter with my Rolleicord and I've not had any cause for complaint. You can pick them up dirt cheap (~£10-20 for a minty one) and I find it a very nice meter to use (better than any of the various Westons I've had pass through my hands).
If you're thinking of investing for the future (flash work) I'd say have a look at second hand Minolta models in the £120 range. They'll be a few years old by now but they're pretty much bullet proof and will probably still outlast anything you'd buy new at that price point.
