Not from this guy. The most I would go for would be a 6x7 bellows folder
that would take a few different lenses, but be compact and very light. Big
light boxes, prisms and retrofocus lenses are HEAVY. Besides built in spot
meters don't make much sense on a camera that is designed to be on a tripod
most of the time. Maybe a matching handheld Oly spotmeter that would attach
to the cam for carrying.
