Smile For Toledo, Spain, with my trustworthy Nikon S2

It seems like not long ago I returned from San Francisco (where I met with Darryl, Mike and Kent and enjoyed the afternoon in the SF Museum of Modern Art... I have to go back again!!), and I'm taking off this Tuesday for Toledo, Spain.

My main shooter? My Nikon S2 with it's 50mm f1.4 lens. I packed a few rolls of B&W BW400CN stuff already. Also, I packed my D700 with two zooms, my 24-70 and a Sigma 12-24. In my experience, traveling to Europe with a long lens only leads to the long lens to stay in the bag... although I must admit that I shot my avatar with an Elmarit 135 f2.8.

In any case, I'm taking with a selenium meter that doesn't strike me as reliable as my Sekonic L208 (which I dropped not long before leaving for San Francisco and haven't been able to send for repair). Any idea where I can get a nice meter in Madrid or Toledo?

Or at least gawk at some toys?

Suggestions will be appreciated. And if you don't have suggestions for stores, but you've been to Toledo, let me know about the places you'd like to return to. Thanks a lot!!

BTW, it's another "Busman's holiday" but at least my wife and son will enjoy it better as they will really be on vacation. I gotta teach.
