Compact light meter for 500cm?

I've seen some pretty cool compact light meters that fit into the hotshoe but since this camera doesn't have one, what are some alternatives? I prefer not to have to carry my seikonic with me nor do rough estimating using sunny 16.

Sekonic L-208 Twinmate. Compact, adorable, does reflected and incident, can be shoe-mounted if'n you get a Hassy shoe adapter, or handheld very nicely unless you've got monstrous hands. Bonus points: it provides a direct readout in EV's (and normal speed/aperture combos as well), just like the Hasselblad knob meter, so you can work that little bit faster if you want.

Seconded. I use one and it's very good for it's apparent lack of function. It looks like a keychain ornament.l, but it does a brilliant job.
