| Two, maybe three:
1) You can point it exactly where you want to
2) you can use it in incident as well as reflective mode
3) they are cool
Sekonic and Gossen are the two big dogs in light meters. Though there are several others.
I always wanted a Sekonic as my parents had one way back. But as luck would have it ended up with two Gossens. (the 'good' one, SBC Luna Lux that runs on a 9v battery, was 'free' with the Voigtlander Bessa 66 I got for $25) My other Gossen is a Pilot - this is the kind that doesn't use a battery - the downside is that it's mainly usable in daylight, even normal interior lighting is a bit dim for it - but it is tiny.
I also ended up with a Vivitar cheapo meter, which works fine. |
