It has a 5-degree spotmeter (quite spotty enough for me!) plus an incident dome, and it does flash and ambient in both aperture and shutter priority and EV. It is quite ergonomic, if not all that small. Best of all, it has the incident dome side-mounted on the body, and it's retractible. The ones with the incident dome on a rotating top extension are fine for the studio but they're easy to snap off in the field. Regards, Nigel On Thu, 03 Dec 1998 11:37:24 -0600 "Roger L.

I use an L-508 when small doesn't matter but having a spot meter does. Before the L-508 I had the L-408. All three are excellent handheld meters I would recommend to anyone who needs one. Larry
