Sekonic L-508 and occasionally a Weston V.

General Electric DW-58, a vintage 1947, mint condition Selenium cell (battery free) foot-candle meter that came bundled with my new-to-me Meridian 45B last year. It's still accurate enough that if I only shot B&W or color neg it might be the only meter I'd ever need (that is, short of guessing at the exposure in available darkness).

I shoot color transparencies, though, and trust a spot meter more than an incident meter for edgy light. I usually also have either a D200 or P645N with me, which have terrific spot meters.

Soligor not listed? Wow, who missed that one? It was good enough for Fred Picker to have modified as a Zone VI meter.

Minolta IVf, incident readings only.
It's had the same battery since I bought it 12 years ago.

Old Luna-Pro with variable spot; Weston V

Pocket Spot - made by Metered Light (they also did the Metrolux timers) - weighs 4 oz!! and is about 2" by 2.5" by .75"!!

I have recently resurrected my Weston Euromaster

It needed a new Selenium Cell and a re-calibration to get it up and running again.

It’s so nice to have a simple to use and reliable incident light meter when I need one.

It even ties up pretty much with my Pentax Digital Spot Meter

Sekonic 558R and a Weston V (just in case I'm taking pix during exposure to a relatively large electromagnetic pulse).
