shoping for light meter

[RichL]

(also shopping for a light meter)

Any do get or don't get suggestions for a light meter? Looking for a small meter. I use a luna-pro sbc and figure something around 1/4 the bulk would suit me fine.

Thanks

i use the Gossen Digisix, which works well (both incident and wide-field reflective). But I must admit that all the extra functions (time, countdown timer, even temperature) are superfluous and can be frustrating as it's easy to switch modes and end up with the countdown going instead of taking a light reading. It is small though, small enough that I hardly notice it in my shirt pocket.

I prefer the Sekonic L 398 incident meter. No batteries and works great. Many here recommend the Sekonic Twinmate for a good small meter. The VC meters are excellent also. Joe

Sekonic L-308 is light and flat. Works well.

I love my VC enough that I might have a Sekonic L-398 for sale soon.

Thanks for your input folks. Think I'll go for the Digisix. Now all I need do is decide if I'm going to buy it or try and swap my Luna-Pro for it.
