As one is incident and one is reflective your manner of interpreting your readings are being looked at. My meters in my M6's are my reference point. I use and trust them the most. The readings on my Minolta Spot meter F match them exactly every time they are in effect calibrated to year other. If the batteries go out in my M6's and I finish the roll with the Minolta meter it will look the same. The readings I get from My compact Gossen Luna pro digital however are predictably a stop less which is what I have learned to expect as normal from a hand held meter: the read a stop less than an in camera meter. No flash readings with that meter darn it. Mark Rabiner 37 minutes to the full moon. This is good practice for the millennium!
