    I have a cheap one that I have had for years and I went into a camera shop to get a new battery for it recently. The guy there said that they don't usually have any meters for sale - they are a special order item.

    I would advise going for one which can take incident light readings which give better reults that reflective readings.

    i'm living in paris about half an hour from the boulevard beaumarchais so i've a massive selection of specialist shops by me, thus no worries about having to order it (i hope. haven't looked yet!) just don't know anything about them, what's a good one etc

    definitely not a studio photographer. landscapes, cityscapes, streetscapes, that sort of thing

    I picked up an old Weston Euromaster on eBAy for 20 euro. It's a great meter and they're virtually indestructable.

    All the best

    i find using the histogram on a digital SLR far more useful than a light meter for most situations
