[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I used a Luna-Pro SBC, and it was wonderful for low-light situations -- perhaps the best meter out there. Bit big, however, and not bullet-proof. One good knock and it's in to Gossen for a pricy recalibration. I switched to the Sekonic L-508 (like everyone else), and immediately regretted it: much too large, *dreadful* low-light sensitivity in reflective mode, and no better an incident meter than many much tinier options. So I went back to Gossen: bought a Luna-Pro Digital, which was good -- and tiny -- but I found the buttons annoying: no positive click. At last I'm with a meter that makes sense to me: the Gossen Luna-Star F2. Only slightly larger than the Luna Digital, with an incident head that swivels, buttons that click when you press them, *intelligent* scene contrast display, and -- when I get around to using it -- great flash capability. When I need a spot meter, I'll buy a Pentax dedicated spot I suppose. (Or a Contax Aria.) Douglas Cooper
