Review 3 of 14
Price Paid:
$409.00 Summary: Good, useful, reliable meter for the money. The feature set compares well with the Sekonic 608 but it's priced like a 508, and is more accurate than either (Sekonic's underexpose). I have access to all three but I always go back to the Starlite for it's more intuitive interface and superior accuracy. Strengths: Consistently accurate.
Easy to use.
Nice feature set for large formats.
Auto power-off.
Long battery life. Weaknesses: Quality control - the first one I got was a real dud.
Weak battery door.
Grey grip absorbs grime (but can be easily cleaned).
The first one I bought was a dud, had to return it.
Thumbwheel misses steps, but this seems to improve with age.
Low light sensitivity (compared to dedicated spotmeters). Similar Products Used: Sekonic 508
Sekonic 608
Minolta Spotmeter VF (which I still use quite often). Customer Service: Excellent - Bogen replaced the dud with a brand new unit.
