I usually use selinium meters whenever possible, but when I need to use
something a little more sensitve (or selective) I like to use an old
Metrastar. This meter was sold by Leica at one time. It is a reflected
light meter w/incident dome, but with a difference. It has an 18 degree
acceptance angle AND a reflex viewer that shows the area being measured.
