I currently use a Pentax digital spot meter and/or a Gossen Luna Pro to determin e exposure when making LF landscape photographs. Meter choice (reflected v.s. i ncident light) depends on circumstances. I've carried both for several years, b ut now see the Sekonic L-608 as an alternative that leads to some simplification of my life.
Nearly all of the reviews of the L-608 have been positive. However, one reviewe r, who specializes in portrait photography and is a frequent user of flash, expr essed the opinion that the L-608 requires frequent recalibration. The reviewer did not say how frequently the meter had to be recalibrated, nor did he characte rize the extent of drift (i.e., 0.1 EV or 1 EV or a little or a lot or ...). In the 12 years that I've had my Pentax meter, I've had it checked twice (once thi s year), and it's always been dead on.
I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has used the L-608. Have you found t he calibration to be stable?
Thanks,
