There are differing opinions regarding the meters on the 7 series. The (selenium) meter on my 7 works just fine, although it's not as sensitive in very low light situations. My understanding is that the cds cells on the 7s and 7sZ are not all that great, and fail more readily. If Brian Sweeney is reading this thread perhaps he can comment; I recall some posts of his from earlier threads expressing a preference for the meter on the 7.
There is no doubt, though, that a 7 w/ a dead meter can be a real bargain as a user. My impression is that clean 7 bodies these days are going for $200-250 w/ working meters.
