Rich What I've always wanted was a remote lightmeter - a discrete little device with an invercone I could place near the scene and get it's results remotely from my shooting position (if you are in a hide (blind) you can't walk outside when the critter arrives ...). I went som of the way using my Minolta Mini-Receptor on an extension lead but that results in, well, an extension cable in the shot (even though the sensor itself is only 1cm across). Maybe such a thing exists - not linked directly to the camera I bet. Bob Of course, with digital who needs it.
