Review 1 of 3

Price Paid: $0.00

Summary:

An excellent light meter for the studio; less so on location due to fiddly attachments to switch between reflected & incident readings. The interface is reasonably easy to use. Lightweight & not excessively burdensome if used on location.

Strengths:

Accurate Lightweight Uses AA batteries Straightforward to use Both cord and cordless flash metering Displays flash/ambient light ratios

Weaknesses:

Fiddly attachments Feels a little fragile

Review 3 of 3

Price Paid: $250.00 from B and H

Summary:

This meter is very similar to the original auto meter. I do not know the differences between the two. Maybe somebody, in another review, will be able to explain this. This is a great meter! The LCD is extremely easy to read and the layout is flawless. Has averaging and memory

Strengths:

The accuracy of this machine is splendid. I took about 10 different reading of different scenes and with the Minolta Auto Meter. Then I took the same metering with an F5 and the results were incredibly exact.

Weaknesses:

I know somebody who has an Auto Meter and it dropped only 2 feet. Busted. They are delicate!!

Similar Products Used:

none.
