It is brilliant in low light, both because of its sensitivity and also because its display lights up automatically when it is dark, enabling you to actually see the readout. It is a combined incident and spot meter, with the spot metering angle variable from 1 to 4 degrees. I bought mine to accompany the M3 and have been very pleased with the results.
