[Leica] Re: light meter

[Jim Brick <jim@brick.org>]

After inspecting, and trying, all of the various Sekonic, Minolta, Gossen,
etc., I chose the Gossen Luna Star F2. Does everything. And it's instant
on. It'll even calculate and store a filter factor for you, not to mention
that it does flash and ambient simultaneously (for fill ratios).

Of course, the meter one owns, is their favorite meter. But when I decided
to buy a digital incident, reflected, flash, etc... meter, I tried them
all. And I'm very happy with my choice. I have found no situation where it
was not the correct choice. At least, for me.
