I have one light meter that I actually like to use and about 6 .... Generally can't get away with using Westons much anymore in my work because they are hard to keep working. I still buy them when I find them at Goodwill for $5 or so, because I like to have good meters around. So I use a Luna Pro F, which allows both reflected and incident readings as well as flash, and with the spot attachment, is indeed a spot meter. I like this meter very much. It is the null type, with a 0 position on the scale and marks positioned in one stop increments above and below. With a little getting used to, it is possible to use it for Zoney Baloney just as well as the old Westons; maybe a little easier, actually. The spot is perfectly adequate, offering a choice of 15 degree and 7.5 degree angles, which is really sensible. If I were confined to one meter, this would be it, even though it is bulky (though not very heavy). Also, I use an old Spectra incident meter. It is pretty wonderful, but you have to deal with a lot of slides. Larry >
