<p>For future reference > will not let Walgreens process my film again - first roll shot with the Leica IIIF RD was processed by Northcoast Photographic - pictures were much more vibrant.<br> 1st roll was Kodak 400 speed color film - Walgreens got Ecktar 100 - pictures are good but colors look washed out.</p>

<p>Thanks so much - reminds me of a question posed on a motorcycle forum about which oil is best - all great suggestions.<br> If the iPhone app worked, I'd like that cuz I usually carry my phone with me - holding out for the next generation phone so wouldn't have to upgrade the app for awhile - I've seen an attachment that fits on iPhone that looked pretty neat.</p> <p>Will check out options still on the smaller light meters - thank you!</p>

<p>The Leica IIIf RD takes amazing pictures - glad I bought it and thanks for your suggestions.<br> I've got a Sekonic L-558R light meter, about the same size as the camera - interested in a suggestion for a compact and inexpensive, yet accurate light meter. <br> When using my Hasselblad, I always use the Sekonic.<br> During my first roll with the Leica, I mostly followed the Sunny 16 rule and had pretty good results. Back in the 70's with my first rangefinder, I believe the only thing I ever carried around was the exposure guide found in a roll of film - still, with the higher cost of film & processing, I'd like to carry a compact light meter as a backup to my judgement.</p>
