Calcu-light X not XP

[notontv]

Hi everyone, I haven't been able to find much info on this light meter except that it is exceptional in low light (the XP, that is). Is the X comparable? I'm worried the P stands for Professional or Portable and the Calcu-light X is the size of my camera bag! No, just kidding, but what is the difference? And does anyone have a lead on where to find these other then the big E or KEH. Thanks for all the help, Ben

They are the same size, but the Calculight X (or the plain "Calculight") is not as sensitive as the XP.

They are all very good meters IMO, but only one is the XP...

any idea what it is rated at? ev -2? or just a little less sensitive like -4? I really love the impossibly low light!

Mine (I have 3) read down to EV 1 set to asa400 and EV -2 set to asa100. At 400, that's an exposure of 1sec @ f/1.1.
