A short while back someone kindly gave me an elderly Gossen MasterSix together with its 4x5 PROFI-select TTL attachment (roughly a SinarSix by another name). It's in good order and works splendidly so for difficult conditions I'd very much like to take it into the field -- currently I'm using an F4 for most of my spot metering. The weight and bulk of all the equipment doesn't really bother me as I generally work out of the back -- or on top -- of a Land Rover. I've found, though, that the meter's darkslide is very awkward to use under a darkcloth. Possibly dropping the darkcloth and using binocs is the answer -- I'm using a Cambo Legend -- but I like the insurance that the cloth gives in minimising the effects of light leaks and so on. Does anyone have any experience of this problem ... and perhaps a solution?


Best regards,

Richard
