Why not consider a Sekonic L-328?  I offer digital readout and an anlaog
scale. 
Digital meters are faster and more accurate than analog meters simply
because the D'Arsonval movement in the analog meter cannot be quite as
precise as an LCD readou with accuracy to 1/10th of a stop.

   I prefer an analog meter to a digital. I've been looking at
the Luna-Pro F, because it would be easy to use with the zone
system and has a 7- & 15-degree attachment available. Any
thoughts about this or alternatives? I'd like, for example, to be
able to meter the U.S. Capitol dome after dark and get an
accurate exposure without having to bracket like mad.
   Thanks.

Dear Howard,
I can't speak specifially about use in low light, but my Luna Pro meter has
done everything I've asked of it for years, and I got it used. It seems to
be quite accurate, easy to use, and flexible. Recommended.
