Richard,

I am very happy with mine. The combination of spot and incident metering in one
package is great. Granted, it is a bit on the large side, but because it is
relatively flat, it is still easy to fit in my camera bag. I am not sure what
the low light problems referred to are. Of course once you get below the minimum
sensitivity you cannot meter, but for this to happen it has to be very dark
indeed, even with the Noctilux. One handy thing in low light is that once the
ambient light is below a certain EV, the display backlight comes on
automatically.

A well-designed piece of equipment in my opinion.

Nathan
