Just checked.....6 (six) bodies in our "family".....not a single Photomic!!!
five standard prism, one W/L (for the copy stand).....no resistor rings here!!!
(occasionally use Nikkormats, but don't use the meters on them, either...)

I do, however, have both a Luna pro digital and a Sekonic studio deluxe within 
reach!!

CU later,
