Up until very recently, it was the most accurate meter I have had. It suddenly started giving me some false readings (crazy enough for me to know they were way off), so I replaced it with a Flashmeter V. I now trust it as much as its predecessor. Over the last 25 years, I have used seversal Sekonic and Gossen meters. I trust the Flashmeter IV and V more than any of them, and have standardized on it as my incident meter of choice. I also have a Minolta Spot Meter M that I find I don't use much. I bought it for field work with a 4x5 and a Hasselblad. I tend to use the incident meter instead. Lately, I have been going out on photo shoots carrying only an M3 with a DR Summicron. The Flashmeter V is as big as the camera. I have been reading with interest the comments about the Sekonic 328BII. I think I might have to give it a try.
