  Gotta agree with George. When I first got my Realist I dragged
my SLR along to do meter readings. Since they all matched the sunny
16 rules I stopped bringing the SLR along. (This is daylight, outdoor
shooting I am talking about.)

  I bought a used Sunpak flash for $20 CDN. It has a guide number
of 24 metres (78 feet) which is probably double the range of any
built in flash. (The built in flash on my $1000 Pentax Z1-p has
a GN of 14 metres.)

  The $3 viewer from Reel 3d is certainly a good value (quality
divided by price). If you order a couple of viewers, 100 Albion
mounts, and a roll of the sliver tape, you are ready to go and
have spent less than $50. Not too bad I would say.
