No doubt there are other meters which are as good but the L 408 caught my eye as well. The water resistant bit added to the appeal! For all the reasons you mention and more, I need to replace my meter, which I doubt doesn't even get close to the accuracy of the K3's own metering. I'd like a reliable, modern and accurate method of working out exposure off camera.
