Accurate reading for flash or ambient light.

I wish it had more choices than just four stops of shutter speed so I can use it in lower light setting. In that case I would not be thinking about getting another light meter for that purpose.

Highly recommend to those who do not need the fancy features of the more expensive models. Worth the money.

I was very surprised at how accurate this baby is. It looks simple and sort of low tech but I have to say it has never been wrong. Uses a standard 9V battery.

If you like high tech looking gear you won't like it.

This is not only an economical device but it works really well. For my purposes I have no complaints and I think for most folks this would be a pretty good investment.

-Precise enough for such a good price.
-Easy to read.
-Have droped it many times and still works ok.
-Auto turn off when not in use, so the 9 volt battery lasts a lot.

-It is a mayor disadvantage to have only half stop precision, specially when working with slides, but i guess it´s the price you´ll have to pay for so little money.
-The ambient light meter works only for 4 shutter speeds, so you´ll have to extrapolate if you are using different speeds.
-About 1/3 stop of error between incident and reflected light metering.(tested with 18% gray chart and another flash meter)

Great tool for a beginner or as a spare meter. At first i was sure the thing wouldn´t last long beacuse it seems so fragile. Today, after nearly 2 years of hard work still does the job very well.
Maybe the only mayor problem would be the lack of 1/3thrd`s precission, but if your lenses only have 1/2 stop precision it wont be a big deal though.
Great value for a brand new ambient-flash meter.
