    Re: Light Meters

    Gossen Profisix with various attachments, but I mainly use the 1º, 5º and 10º spot/tele attachment.

    I have the flash attachment for studio stuff, but I don't have strobes these days.

    I have the darkroom attachment which I take with me when I visit a foreign darkroom.

    The fibre optic attachment is great for checking shutter and f/stop accuracy with film on a light box, or for doing TTL on the ground glass.

    I also have the repro attachment, which really makes a difference using incident measurement on flat art work.

    Bought it 25+ years ago, never thought it would be so good and versatile.

    In the field and travelling light I just have the meter alone in it's leather case and use incident generally, or if the subject is nearby and I have time, reflected.

    Sekonic L558. Having both spot and incident makes my life easier, sometimes i just can't decide what should be a midtone...

    I use two Sekonics, the primary is a L-358 w/ 1-degree spot and the secondary is a L-308b with a 5-degree spot.

    For me its a Gossen Luna Pro SBC (incident/reflected), Pentax digital (spot), and a Sekonic L-608 (incident & variable spot). Mostly use the Gossen backed up where necessary with the Pentax spot.

    Me too on the Sekonic. However, I think it is a 1-4 degree spotmeter. I have a Weston Master at home, but haven't tried using it yet. The needle still moves, so I think it still works.
