Suit yourself - I like mine. And there's something vaguely heretical about using a digital meter with my Yashocamat anyway.

And for the whatever number time I certainly KNOW that selenium generates a current on light exposure and doesn't need batteries. Anyone who ever tinkered with electronics knows that. And anyone who didn't would have still learned it earlier in this thread.

Even at the age of seventy three I don't understand why some people in the 21st century have such a adversity to equipment that is battery dependant carrying spare batteries in your bag isn't heavy or difficult and speaking personally I've had only two new Lithium batteries in my Canon A1 in over twenty years and only one AA battery in nearly three years I have owned my digital light meter.
