I have a metered prism on my 6x7, but I rarely used it when I was
shooting a lot with that camera. I used a handheld incident meter,
which is quick and very accurate.

Instead of wading into the madness that is high tech, my Anna got
me a Mamiya 645 - looks like the original to me, with a penta-prism
finder - I don't really know a lot about it, but I'm excited to try
it out. It seems to be in great working order. It came with an
80mm f/2.8.
Does anyone have advice or pointers for a novice? I'm going to need
a light meter, I guess, although I *imagine* that I can use my
*istDS to give me an EV.
Yep. That's what I do with my Pentax 67 with non-meter prism. I use
a DSLR as a light meter. Since I usually shoot slide film in the 67,
the "expose to the right" histogram technique for setting digital
exposure suits my style well.
It's quicker and infinitely more detailed information than I could
get from any light meter (unless I did lots and lots of readings
with a spot meter, I suppose).
