Apologies, if this query annoys any large format purists ...

I've been taking photographs since the 50s. I've used 35mm cameras for about 30 years, have recently extended down to APS, and up to medium format. I have a da rkroom and do my own B&W processing.

Now I'm making a tentative foray into large format - I've just bought several se cond-hand 4 x 5 film holders, for use in a large format pinhole camera that I'm making!

:-)

My question is: what lightmeter would you recommend for this purpose?

It is many years since I used a lightmeter - all three of the cameras that I cur rently own have lightmeters built in. I vaguely remember owning a Weston (?) li ghtmeter long ago ...
