Thanks! At $50, I'd consider the Honeywell/Wein WP-500 to be a low-end flash meter ...
http://goo.gl/SFGUS http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/63334-REG/Wein_950_010_WP_500B_Standard_Meter.html As far as I can tell it has no PC sync output. Maybe Larry can comment; he has one. I don't know if there is anything else out there like this though. Incident flash meters seem to be pretty-much a pro or "serious enthusiast" level tool, so are priced accordingly. I haven't had a great deal of experience with flash light meters, but up until now I've only worked in situations where I, and folks with Sekonic meters on the same shoot, have had to manually arm our meters then fire the flashes using whatever triggers were in use. I started out using the Pentax wireless P-TTL modes, then various Cactus radios, then I used the Elinchrom wireless gadgets (which are pretty cool as you get remote control of strobe features). If you use PocketWizard radio triggers, the Sekonic 358 accepts an internal module to fire those. Huge bucks though, for what you get. I'd just as soon use this cable trick with the trigger for free.
