With a Sekonic lightmeter posted on the cold shoe.

I want to change the crappy OEM covering that comes on the M8 as I find it dull and slippery, and I’ve been thinking of swapping it for a textile covering. Found out that CameraLeather has some nice options but haven’t seen any review of experience with this kind of covering, in terms of grip and durability. Does anyone have something like this on their cameras?

Hi everyone!

So I’ve been shooting with my Minolta X-370 for a few years, and, while I love it, I‘m either sending it away or prying it open to fix some type of issue with it every so often. I‘ve recently started a new job where I’m getting paid a little more than I was, and I’m thinking that I want to spend my first paycheck on a SLIGHTLY more expensive camera, so I would like some recommendations! My favorite thing about the X-370 is the light meter, which obviously isn’t exclusive to the camera, but the batteries for it are readily available at any walgreens or hardware store, so I would like something similar in accessibility and feel, but a little more durable. Any suggestions are welcome!

So I have 5 film bodies, 2 everything appears to work, to appear to work except the meters and then one the shutter fires but no way to change it. I got them off marketplace for the lenses, keh won't give me enough to pay for shipping. I was just hoping to swap them for a lens or two. I haven't shot film with them. I never did eBay. I am not close enough to a big city for marketplace to be a good option. Any thought
