It's still a great value to me as I shoot all the adapted lenses on the modern bodies. With no lens to body communication with most of them the metering can be quite different lens to lens.
The only one I have is LightMeter Pro on my phone. I've used it to sanity-check the selenium meter on the Yashica. They seem to agree, at least as much as I'm qualified to assess. I've experienced the different lens / different metering thing before, but the Yashica is fixed-lens, so it's not that. I really think it's almost all me, and that more rolls will make it better.
