Conclusion:

Really nice camera with good viewfinder, build quality and light meter.
The light meter work very well but I would like to have a middle LED.
It works but just showing either a led for over or under exposed and you have the right exposure just when it switches.
But thats something one can easly get used to so its not a problem.
