Hi Dave: It's a very cute little meter but it has two flaws (that have been discussed on the list before) that made me decide not to get one. First, it only does reflected but more importantly there is no way to take a reading while aiming carefully in the same way as you can with the M6 meter or the Leicameters. This is because both the dials and the leds you balance to get a reading are on the top, so you can't look at them and the viewfinder at the same time. Dumb design in my opinion. Simon Stevens
