Thibault, I have a Gossen Lunasix 3 which I use with my Rolleicord: if you find one, you should check that the adaptor for use with mercury batteries has been installed otherwise you will not get accurate readings. It's very easy to use, and gives both incident light( if the incident light cone is in place) or direct readings. You really don't necessarily need a modern one - any older one that is undamaged should give you good readings.

Although the camera needs a cleaning (expected) and a new focus screen would be good as well, the urgent need is for a meter. Of course I can use the K7 but that's not exactly that easy. If I can avoid the bulk, I'll do it. I have Studio flashes but have no Flashmeter which means trial & errors is a little annoying: a flashmeter would be a good thing. But wouldn't using a modern flashmeter (and a C330 TLR) outside not getting too much attention on me/the camera ? A Sekonic 308/358 is fine at home but outside? Maybe a second hand meter from Eekbay would be of any value (if those still deliver any consistent results)? Heard a lot of good from Minolta flashmeters (III,IV and V) as well. Really, a simple old CdS meter might be good enough for using outside with the C330? Or would a modern Sekonic/Gossen meter really add much more?
