Re: Incident meter Q's

[Harrison McClary <hmphoto@delphi.com>]

Hey Ben,

I have never used either Sekonic, but I have used the Minolta Flashmeter III
and currently have the Flashmeter IV.  I would still have the III but some
lousy ... stole it from me while I was covering a Farm Aid concert a few
years back.  Anyway I have found the Minoltas to be very accurate for both
incident readings, Flash readings and flash with incident readings.  They
are easy to use and display apperatures in tenths and the IV shows shutter
speeds in 1/2 stop increments.  I also have the 10 degree spot adaptor for
those odd instances when an incident reading just won't work and the M3 has
no meter so I have to have something ...now we're on topic.  ;).  
They also give you flash readings at shutterspeeds from 1 second and up.

Hope this helps.
