If anyone ever wants to use an old camera with no meter and no rangefinder, perhaps one of the Zeiss Nettars or similar, then a useful tip is to also carry a Pentax MX or similar with a 50mm or 100mm lens attached. The camera can be used to measure exposures and to set the distance on the older camera. It's much more accurate than guessing the distance, especially when the photographer is as rubbish at guessing distances as I am!

I can see no purpose in using a Weston without the invercone, you can use the cameras meter to take reflected readings.

And it will be far more accurate and far more sensitive. Absolutely agree with you gartmore!

Why not try a cottage from cottages4you or similar? We've stayed in Seahouses and the cost of a cottage for a week works out far better than any B&B. There is a nice inn is Seahouses though. Can't recall its name.

mattie, if you are interested in an MZ-3 that is is indistinguishable-from-new condition, then drop me a PM.

Weston Invercones are highly sought after in the Vintage market, basically because they become mislaid. Also it seems because viewfinder is throwing them away!

Weston meters with Invercone will sell just so people can have the Invercone. Now we have a new and previously unthought of applications (by me at least) shim will now up the demand level even further...

Do the evening reception, be absolutely brilliant, and that will show them what they've missed!

You'll get the kudos and not have to do the work that way....

I think you've summed it up Davex, so on that note time to put this thread to bed....

I too have found SRS to be knowledgable, friendly and helpful. Of course they want to make a profit, that's how they earn a living. Profit is not a dirty word.

Some people see a glass as half full, some as half empty, so we should accept that, but I think SRS's glass is rather more than half full!
