Sekonic Studio Master II or III?

[peadarceiteach]

Kindly share your thoughts regarding whether or not you would go with the new (and new cell type) Sekonic Studio Master III, or buy a slightly less expensive selenium based SM II. I just don't know enough about meters to make a good decision. Thanks for the help. PC

I'll be using it with an older Canon Rangefinder - B+W 35mm

I'd pass the Studio master up and go for either the L-318 or the L-358 flashmaster. Some people like the fact that the 318 takes double A batteries so they are easily available where ever you are. Really I could care less about the battery. The 358 takes the 123 Lithium batteries and while they are more difficult to find I just take a spare with me when I travel. Also, my flashlight's take these (The 123's) batteries as well so I order them allot cheaper from www.surefire.com .

Any particular reason you were set on the Studio Master?
