Shen Hao PTB45
ShenHao 1m cable release (X3 for future lenses and in Case I lose one)
Fuji Quickload Holder + Velvia 50 quickload 20sheets (So far the quickload seems to be the easiest most hassle free option. Not sure whether I should just get some holders at first and some sheets of film, it might be much cheaper, and it might help me learn more about film, but then I would need, a changing tent, and film holders which in themselves cost considerably.. your opinions?)
Schneider 4x Lupe for viewing slides and focusing (not sure whether a 6x would be better, the 6x is almost 2x the price!)
A spot meter (The spot meters all seem to be quite expensive, the closest one I could find is the Sekonic L758D and that is quite expensive! I have heard the old Pentax has the problem of mercury batteries which I could not buy due to the contemporary environmental restrictions)
Harrison Silver Classic Dark Cloth (again not sure if necessary, perhaps a shirt will be sufficient)
Am I missing something? What do you think of the above combination of equipment?
Thank you for your input...
