I use a gossen in the incident mode, if I have time I make pseudo- zone-system measurements of the high values, and place them around Z-VII or so, and if I have an MR4 on, I used to trust it with B&W and negs, but I don't know if I'd use the damn old things today with this shit for batteries we have in this "P-C" country. Used to have a Sekonic Studio before the Gossen......and when I was younger I tried a Spectra for picking up chicks (didn't work)...... Usually point the dome straight into the light, then at right angles to the light, then guestimate between the two (usually a half stop or so...... Don't know, I'd probably use a TTL meter in the M6 similarly to a spot meter, if up close, and interpolate a-la Zone system.... Also use a Pentax 1 degree digital, it's my wifes meter, I married her 'cause it was cheaper than buying the goddamn thing....... Used to have an M5/CL before I was "reformed", and used them much as a Zone system meter......particularly with the 90....... Confused? me too..... Walt
