I thought wrong. I'm sticking with Gossen. >Mark Rabiner > I use a Gossen Luna Star F. A killer meter. Will compute filter factors for you. The reflected mode is deadly accurate. It reads exactly and precisely, to the exact 1/2 stop that my Hasselblad 203FE built-in meter reads. And the resulting Velvia transparencies are absolutely dead on. Hold the button down, scan the scene and get the main reading plus the light ratio displayed in analog form (the best way). In the incident mode, it matches my Sekonic Studio Deluxe exactly. And a flash meter that will not only read flash, flash ratios, and any variation of flash that you have, but will tell you how many "multiple pops" are required to obtain a desired exposure. All this and "Instant on". Jim (also sticking with Gossen) Brick
