Turns out the needle on the scale in the viewfinder on the Braun/Nizo S800 doesn't operate unless the light meter batteries are installed. So turning to manual exposure doesn't give you any indication of what your exposure setting is without batteries. So much for being a cheapskate.

Old post...but curious to see the results.

Looks awesome! Also very much enjoying your website and indie film tip videos.

Ok, so external light metering is good. Can I assume then, that there is no point in me buying batteries for my camera's light meter? I just bought a Nizo S800 and if I can get away with it, I'd rather not have to purchase light meter batteries for it.
