Choosing a Handheld Light Meter

Sorry I know this thread is a bit old, can anyone confirm for me that on a Minolta IV F that I can take a reading, say 1/60 and it gives me f8 and click through the up/down buttons to give me various combinations, 1/30 @ f/16, 1/125 @ f/5.6 .
Cheers

Yes you can. After taking a reading, you can scroll up and down through the shutter speeds and the indicated aperture will change to maintain correct exposure.
 
Hi buddies,

I have to bump this thread on cause I 'm in difficult choice. I want a light meter to use with my Leica M3 and have 2 options at SAME price:

- a Sekonic L-508: in quite abused appearance, working fine of course/

- a Sekonic L-358: in mint condition

So, which one should I take?

Thanks for your input.

Regards,

Trung
 
Yes these are excellent and very reliable. There are some older versions of this which are very good too (the design is old). I think mine cost $100 in new-old-stock with a box, papers, attachments, etc. I have found the Sekonic Twin-Mate to be of questionable build quality, especially compared to the Sekonic Studio.

Monochrom advertises the Sekonic Studio Deluxe as the last remaining, new light meter without batteries. That's the one I have, and I quite like it.

It's pretty sturdy, has a swivel head and isn't all that big. It's just a little difficult to use without those ISO-blades, you have to first set the scale to the according number and after that read off what aperture and shutter to use. One more step than required by similar meter. It's incident only.
