The Minolta IIIF is a wonderful meter if you just need the basics. The "F" version has flash metering in addition to ambient. They are frequently sold used on Ebay for about $120. The other Minolta meters are well respected too. They are primarily incident type and if you want reflective metering (the kind that your camera already uses) you can buy a cheap adapter. The IIIF is one of the lowest cost digital meters with consistent accuracy.(posted 8824 days ago)But if you are planning on using the zone system you should probably get a 1 degree spot meter that does reflected and incident, flash metering. Using and packing multiple meters is a pain, so get one that will do all that you need it to do. If you can afford it Shawn's recommendation of the Seikonic L508 is very good.
