In that case, John, you are home and dry, despite being misled, because the
Lunasix F *is* able to meter flash exposures.
Note the Lunasix F does not have the co-ax flash socket of the Multisix,
which means that you have to trigger the flash from the camera rather than
from the meter.

Piers, To clarify...the meter is the Lunasix F..9v battery with silicon blue
cells. I am leaning towards getting this meter...or I
might also get the Multisix :-O ps. Thanks for the link to the
instruction manuals.
Regards, John Duggan.
