I probably wouldn't give it 'rave reviews,' but for the most part it does what I want it to do. As with the meter in my Nikon FM, though, sometimes one has to _actually_ think about the lighting situation, and try to figure out if, and why, the meter is likely to be wrong. But, that's part of the interest in manual photography for me. B&H sells this meter for a pittance: It's about $85. Small, light weight. Does feel cheap, though. Just go to the B&H site and follow this path: < Home < Photo < General Photo Equipment < Light Meters < Lightmeters & Accessories < Ambient It's the only hand-held meter I've used, so I haven't anything to compare it to. But, it seems to do a fine job. I've only been disappointed when I failed to recgonize a tricky aspect to the lighting. Hope this helps.
