Gossen Digiflash : Erratic reading

[Tachi]

Hi, I just bought a Digiflash and found that it gives erratic reading under in-door lighting. The deviation can sometimes be as much as 1.5EV.

I have 2 other meters (Luna Pro F and Starlite), they do not have this problem.

I read some claims about Digisix and Digiflash inconsistent readings under in-door lighting and would like to check if any other person has this problem too.

Tachi..

I have a Digisix. It seems to work reliability, and closely agrees with an Autometer IVF.

The DigiFlash does have "problems" with the older style fluorescent light bulbs that flicker at or near the 60hz line frequency. The meter actually measures faster than the flickering causing the erratic results. There's probably nothing wrong with the meter but you do have to watch out where the lighting is coming from...

If you decide you don't like yours, let me know. I've been wanting to get a second one :p

I have written an email via Gossen website, let's see how's their response.

I have tried out the Digiflash outdoor in natural lighting, it is accurate as my Starlite. As for indoor with fluorescent lighting, it still fluctuates, so got to be careful when dealing it.

Still waiting for a reply from Gossen.
