I don't own one, but I do currently use one. I think it's a miraculous machine, because of the spot, but it's too big to my liking. I'm sticking with my digital Gossen with 5 degree spot attachment. If ever I do decided I want a 1 deg spot then I'll add the 508 my kit, because it sure doesn't cost much (relatively speaking). Bernard
