I have a Sekonic Auto-Leader L-188 I have lost all faith in (recently bought 
it used for $40).  With a fresh battery, I cannot get the same reading twice 
on any source.  When I try several readings in succession, the needle moves 
down with each new take.

Looks like I'll have to invest more cash on a better one.  :-(
