I think that my original Master III was also stolen. I can't quite remember now. That one had a grey leather case. This one I bought to replace it doesn't. I use this meter when I'm shooting the IIIf or Speed Graphic. It still works just fine.
Unfortunately I lost all my camera equipment around 1982 and it was a hard loss. All my stuff was in the back seat and trunk of my car. I had just done a wedding and I took all my rolls of film into the Kodak store to have them developed. I came out and my rear side window was busted out and my trunk was opened. Lost everything. Maybe that is why I can't seem to let go of any of my digital camera stuff. Pretty cool exposure meter.
