I am looking at some of these: http://www.adorama.com/catalog.tpl?op=it...rs&sf=Price to go with my KM Maxxum 7D. I don't know anything about meters yet, so if someone can help me choose one it will be great.
Thanks!

Your weblink points to a page of 20 meters, with a >4:1 ratio in price. Perhaps if you could indicate what type of photography you're interested in we might be able to help.
What limitations have you found with the built-in meter?
Whilst I have a few meters* in my arsenal, I tend to rely on the histogram when shooting digital, and that goes for whether I'm using ambient lighting or flash.
*I use an old Weston Master V with excellent results when I'm using film cameras from the same period.

I have a Sekonic 308B which I use with my Bronica. It is light, fairly robust and not at all expensive. It is also a flashmeter as well. The readings corresponds in accuracy quite well with my Nikon cameras when fitted with a 35mm lens.
I would also recommend a Weston Euromaster 11 as an alternative. They are built really well and have a solid feel to them. If possible get one with the Invercone, that makes them really accurate to boot. Not as sensitive as the 308B, but sensitive enough.

Sekonic meters tend to be very good and solid, but then to be quite honest I just use a Lenningrad-8 selenium cell meter I got for next to nothing most of the time and that does the trick just fine for me. So don't get too taken in by hyberbole about how spectacularly wonderful the latest all electronic gadgets are. In the endgame they all just measure light and tell what for the most part could have figured out by intutition and guesswork anyway.
