Yes! Was something like that ever made? I used to wish that there was a digital back that could replace the film door on the back of several common models of film SLR, though not having that has probably helped keep film alive.
I'm using a little selenium-cell light meter that seems to be reading correctly--much more convenient than carrying a second camera just for it's light meter. I'm also exposing the Fuji 100 at iso 80. I hate getting underexposed negatives, and prefer them being a little denser than too thin.
Interestingly, my Super-Tak is one of the lenses listed in the manual as not working with the ESII's auto-exposure feature, which was accommodated by the then new SMC lenses. But, since I am using the camera manually, I'm mainly concerned with whether the camera will close the iris to the set aperture when the shutter fires, or whether I have to switch the lens to M from A. I checked using the Bulb shutter speed, and the iris closes down perfectly fine, so I assume it is doing the same at the other speeds. The negs will verify, in any case.
