This problem is exactly why I changed from Weston Masters years ago. The
cross over between the two ranges was always different. Now I use a Minolta
digital meter and just don't have a problem.

That used to happen with my LunaPro 3 (I say used to, because I went over
to a Digisix and a Digiflash a few months ago). I usually just settled on
setting it at 12.

I know the lighting you're talking about EI 400, 1/60th @ f2.8 ... it's
ALWAYS like that. I quit using a meter for that light. It's boring always
getting the same reading.

So if that'st the range giving you problems, take the Gossen. It's
trustworthy away from that borderline and now you know what the borderline
is, so you can just go with 1/60th @ 2.8.
