I've become more serious about my photography lately. My two typical weaknesses have been focus and my ability to meter shots confidently while using the internal light meter and bracketing.Auto focusing has been a savior for me.
This device resembles classic light meters from 1970th. Can be used intuitively, really portable, accurate and comfortable! Allow to obtain normally exposed negatives, and is essential companion to (as in mu case) rangefinder or TLR camera. Recommended enthusiastically with 5 or even 6 points!
I use this with a Rolleicord which of course lacks its own light meter. I use it to get reflected light measurements, and it's always worked great. As a bonus, it's small -- even in its little velvet bag it fits nicely in a pocket.
Tried it out this week doing large format work. Light weight, easy to learn how to use, and performs basic functions. Exposure readings were all accurate.Highly recommended as a basic lightmeter!
I haven't had a separate light meter for probably 40 years. I'm very pleased with this little jewel. It seems to work great and get a good reading in very low light conditions, as well as the other places where I would like a direct reading.
Too early for this review. Obviously nice simple, clear practical design. But have only just started using this meter. Readings seem very low, ie leading to over exposure. Need to get back to Clifton re checking performance but am busy with other things.
Rather plasticky but seems to perform well.
Straightforward hand held light meter for use with my old film cameras. Does the job perfectly.
brilliant and simple to use
I needed a simple light meter to fit in the cold shoe on my Leica 3. I tried two other very small light meters but found them both difficult to read in bright sunlight.The Sekonic L-208 is a keeper.
