Originally posted by brkl Hah, I guess nothing would satisfy all of those requirements! I'm looking for a second light meter for my new not-quite-a-folder Braun Gloria. Recommend something that's reliable and cheap!
"Cheap" is always a debateble thing. Some suggestions:
Gossen Digisix
Polaris Digital light meter
Sekonic L-208 Twinmaster
Sekonic L-398 (the latest version of the classic modell)
Sekonic L-308B II (digital)
TZhere are also some cheap modells branded by Vivitar or Soligor, which are nevertheless fine.
Originally posted by brkl I have a Gossen Lunapro F for my Mamiya 645 Super (which spends its time at my dad's place, which is why I need a second). I'm having a bit of trouble with that one. I swear it underexposes severely in inside lighting at least. However, the only calibration guide I can find for it is that the needle should rest on a green mark when it's not in use, which it does. Am I just using it wrong?
Perhaps you are using it wrong. How can we know? To uise a light meter needs some practice and knowledge, otherwise you'll get wrong readings. Is the underexposure there for incident or reflected light readings? I think, the easist way to confirm a fault, would be, to take some reflective readings off a grey card under different illumination and see, whether these lead to correct exposure or not. If these are off, I would send it in for a repair, it is a good meter.
