Ah.... if I could just hack my M3 to add a TTL meter -- not a TTL 
*flash* meter, just to paint a white spot on the shutter curtain and 
perhaps project an EV number (or even just a couple of diodes) into the 
viewfinder... I think the trickiest part would be adding a battery 
casing, and a dial to set the ASA.
